I SHOULD SO LOVE TO LAY MY CROWN AT HIS FEET
One of the chaplains of her late Majesty, Queen Victoria,
had been preaching on the Second Coming of the Lord, and afterwards, in
conversation with the preacher, the Queen exclaimed: “Oh! How I wish that the
Lord would come in my lifetime!”
“Why,” asked the chaplain, “does your Majesty feel this very
earnest desire?”
The Queen replied with quivering lips, and her whole
countenance lighted up by deep emotion, “I should so love to lay my crown at
His feet.”
