Explore "Terror by Night" by Charles Kingsley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
(_Preached in Lent_.) PSALM XCI. 5. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night.
YOU may see, if you will read your Bible, that the night is spoken of in the Old Testament much as we speak of it now, as a beautiful and holy thing. The old Jews were not afraid of any terror by night. They rejoiced to consider the heavens, the work of God's fingers, the moon and the stars, which he had ordained. They looked on night, as we do, as a blessed time of rest and peace for men, in which the beasts of the forest seek their meat from God, while all things are springing and growing, man knows not how, under the sleepless eye of a good and loving Creator.
