Страница 121 - In all my wanderings round this world of care, In all my griefs — and God has given my share — I still had hopes, my latest hours to crown, Amidst these humble bowers to lay me down; To husband out life's taper at the close, And keep the flame from wasting by repose.
Страница 210 - God is not a man, that he should lie; Neither the son of man, that he should repent: Hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good ? Behold, I have received commandment to bless: And he hath blessed ; and I cannot reverse it.
Страница 195 - FRIEND after friend departs : Who hath not lost a friend ? There is no union here of hearts, That finds not here an end : Were this frail world our only rest, Living or dying, none were blest.

Uttered not, yet comprehended, Is the spirit's voiceless prayer, Soft rebukes, in blessings ended, Breathing from her lips of air. O, though oft depressed and lonely, All my fears are laid aside, If I but remember only Such as these have lived and died!

Страница 213 - Soon, and for ever, The breaking of day Shall drive all the night-clouds Of sorrow away, — Soon, and for ever, We'll see as we're seen, And learn the deep meaning Of things that have been. When fightings without us, And fears from within, Shall weary no more In the warfare of sin ; Where tears and where fears And where death shall be — never, Christians with Christ shall be, Soon, and for ever.
Страница 152 - Surely every man walketh in a vain show: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
Страница 245 - Before the willing spirit takes Her mansion near the throne. •; Faith strives, but all its efforts fail, To trace her in her flight ; No eye can pierce within the veil Which hides that world of light.
