Popular passages
Page 14 - And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: and after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
Page 14 - And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks, before the LORD ; but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake ; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: and after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.
Page 4 - Had ripened thy just soul to dwell with God, Meekly thou didst resign this earthly load Of death, called life, which us from life doth sever.
Page 41 - tis ever thus, with creatures heavenly fair — Too finely framed to 'bide the brunt, more earthly natures bear ; A little while they dwell with us — blest ministers of love — Then spread the wings we had not seen, and seek their home above.
Page 40 - Yet upon the mist before us fix thine eyes with closer view ; See, beneath its sullen skirts, the rosy morning glimmers through. One whose feet the thorns have wounded passed that barrier and came back, With a glory on His footsteps lighting yet the dreary track.
Page 22 - We have but lent the beautiful to thee. But thou, O Heaven ! keep, keep what thou hast taken, And with our treasure keep our hearts on high ; The spirit meek, and yet by pain unshaken, The faith, the love, the lofty constancy — Guide us where these are with our sister flown — They were of Thee, and thou hast claimed thine own ! THE SOUND OF THE SEA.
Page 11 - Alone unto our Father's will One thought hath reconciled ; That He whose love exceedeth ours Hath taken home his child. Fold her, O Father ! in thine arms, And let her henceforth be A messenger of love between Our human hearts and thee.
Page 36 - In the path that she has trod ; May we worship at the altar Of the great and living God. 5 Lord, may angels watch above us, Keep us all from error free, — May they guard, and guide, and love us, Till, like her, we go to thee.
Page 56 - I am weak and fearful with despair. Where is it? Tell me where. Friend, thou must trust in him who trod before The desolate paths of life ; Must bear in meekness, as he meekly bore, Sorrow, and pain, and strife!
