The first and great work of a Christian is about his heart. There it is that God dwells by his Spirit, in his saints; and there it is that sin and Satan reign, in the ungodly. The great duties and the great sins are those of the heart. There is the root of good and evil: the tongue and life are but the fruits and expressions of that which dwells within.

All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

God is working His purpose out as year succeeds to year,
God is working His purpose out and time is drawing near;
Nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be fill'd with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.
God is Working His Purpose Out (1894)
