Poems & Quotes By Amy Carmichael (1867-1951)

Tune Thou My Harp

Tune Thou my harp;
There is not, Lord, could never be,
The skill in me.


Tune Thou my harp,
That it may play Thy melody,
Thy harmony.

Tune Thou my harp;
O Spirit, breathe Thy thought through me
As pleaseth Thee.

Hast Thou No Scar 
by Amy Carmichael
Hast thou no scar?
No hidden scar on foot, or side, or hand?
I hear thee sung as mighty in the land,
I hear them hail thy bright ascendant star,
Hast thou no scar?
Hast thou no wound?
Yet, I was wounded by the archers, spent.
Leaned me against the tree to die, and rent
By ravening beasts that compassed me, I swooned:
Hast thou no wound?
No wound? No scar?
Yet as the Master shall the servant be,
And pierced are the feet that follow Me;
But thine are whole. Can he have followed far
Who has no wound nor scar?

Another good quote by Amy Carmichael:
"Is it not a mercy that missionaries can laugh?"

And:
"You cannot pull people uphill who do not want to go; you can only point up."

And one more:
"He that is down cannot get between God and his glory."
