Collected Poems of Robert Hill

Book excerpt: These verses and poems are products of the writer's heart, his convictions, and his philosophy of life, and stem from a deep and firm belief in the triune God. In addition they have a purity of style probably due to the fact that the author was acclaimed as a grammarian. Simple as they are, many of them contain profound lessons, beneficial for daily Christian living. He wrote them for people he truly loved, his congregations of the First Presbyterian Church, and Moore Memorial Presbyterian Church, Tyler, Texas. Some of them were written to suit a situation or condition which existed when that particular one was composed, and was often instrumental in smoothing a potentially rough road for someone in distress.
