O Spirit of that early day
From The Quaker of the Olden Time
O Spirit of that early day,
So pure and strong and true,
Be with us in the narrow way
Our faithful fathers knew.
Give strength the evil to forsake,
The cross of Truth to bear,
And love and reverent fear to make
Our daily lives a prayer!
— John Greenleaf Whittier, 1838
Quaker poet
