Context: When, O crowned Jesus; when, O loving Saviour; when, O patient and just Judge — when wilt Thou come forth from Thy hiding, and change tears to smiles, and groans to joys? When shall that choral song burst forth, sweeping through the air, and circling about Thy throne, which shall proclaim the redemption of the world to the Lord God?
“The social smile, the sympathetic tear.”
Education and Government; reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919)
“Behind a frowning providence
