Side 169 - O sing unto the Lord a new song : Sing unto the Lord, all the earth. Sing unto the Lord, bless His name ; Shew forth His salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the heathen, His wonders among all people.
Side 171 - Jacob selah lift up your heads O ye gates and be ye lifted up ye everlasting doors and the King of glory shall come in...
Side 189 - He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: Yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
