Side 115 - Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock. And I went out after him, and smote him and delivered it out of his mouth ; and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear ; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
Side 117 - This was compassion, like a God, That, when the Saviour knew, The price of pardon was his blood, His pity ne'er withdrew.
Side 15 - LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is ; that I may know how frail I am.
Side 81 - Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, And hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength , Therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, And shalt set it with strange slips: In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, And in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish : But the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

Side 120 - I then bade him to call one of his sheep. He did so, and it instantly left its pasturage and its companions, and ran up to the hand of the shepherd, with signs of pleasure, and with a prompt obedience which I had never before observed in any other animal. It is also true of the sheep in this country, that a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him...
Side 51 - Suppressed, and quickly banished from the mind. Many the roads they took, the plans they tried ; But all in vain. Who grasped at earthly Fame, Grasped wind : nay, worse, a serpent grasped, that through His hand slid smoothly, and was gone ; but left A sting behind, which wrought him endless pain, i For oft her voice was old Abaddon's lure, By which he charmed the foolish soul to death.
Side 108 - HI the valleys to the height of ten feet. Their snow-white flowers, bordered with a purple edging, appear to peculiar advantage under the verdant foliage. Each myrtle is loaded with them, and they emit perfumes more exquisite than those of the rose itself. They enchant every one, and the soul is filled with the softest sensations.
