Page 54 - Tis not for man to trifle ! Life is brief, And sin is here. Our age is but the falling of a leaf, A dropping tear. We have no time to sport away the hours, All must be earnest in a world like ours.

Page 21 - Toil on, faint not, keep watch, and pray ; Be wise the erring soul to win ; Go forth into the world's highway, Compel the wanderer to come in. Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice : For toil comes rest, for exile, home ; Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice, The midnight peal, Behold I come ! HORATIUS BONAR.
Page 174 - Go, labor on; enough, while here, If he shall praise thee, if he deign Thy willing heart to mark and cheer: No toil for him shall be in vain. 4 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice; For toil comes rest, for exile home; Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice, The midnight peal :
Page 8 - O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? Thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Page 82 - Men die in darkness at your side, Without a hope to cheer the tomb ; Take up the torch and wave it wide, The torch that lights time's thickest gloom.
