Quotes by Henry Martyn
1
Let me burn out for God. After all, whatever God may appoint, prayer is the great thing. Oh, that I might be a man of prayer!
2
I am born for God only. Christ is nearer to me than father, or mother, or sister – a near relation, a more affectionate Friend; and I rejoice to follow Him, and to love Him. Blessed Jesus! Thou art all I want -a forerunner to me in all I ever shall go through as a Christian, a minister, or a missionary.
3
If God has work for me to do I cannot die.
4
The Spirit of Christ is the spirit of missions, and the nearer we get to Him the more intensely missionary we must become.
5
God and eternal things are my only pleasure.
6
Let me be taught that the first great business on earth is the sanctification of my own soul.
