Side 117 - This beautiful, mysterious thing, This seeming visitant from heaven, This bird with the immortal wing, To me — to me, thy hand has given. The pulse first caught its tiny stroke, The blood its crimson hue, from mine — This life, which I have dared invoke, Henceforth is parallel with thine. A silent awe is in my room — I tremble with delicious fear; The future with its light and gloom, Time and Eternity are here.
Side 220 - In the multitude of my thoughts within me, thy comforts delight my soul." The Saviour's presence occasionally enlightens all his darkness ; he feeds on heavenly manna, and feels, like Elijah, that he can go in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights, though, alas! it seldom carries him many paces beyond the juniper-tree. In his straits, moreover, he has had many providential interpositions to acknowledge,— a better commentary on the promises than any his library could boast.
Side 1 - God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, by honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

Side 321 - Ah ! then and there was hurrying to and fro, And gathering tears, and tremblings of distress, And cheeks all pale, which but an hour ago Blushed at the praise of their own loveliness; And there were sudden partings, such as press The life from out young hearts, and choking sighs Which ne'er might be repeated...
Side 63 - The wreaths of changeless love shall twine, Watch for thy step at vesper hour, And blend her holiest prayer with thine. Deal gently thou, when, far away, Mid stranger scenes her foot shall rove, Nor let thy tender...
Side 124 - Sweet in the confidence of faith To trust His firm decrees ; Sweet to lie passive in His hand, And know no will but His.
Side 259 - If any of those who were awakened by my ministry did after that fall back, as sometimes too many did, I can truly say, their loss hath been more to me than if my own children, begotten of my own body, had been going to their...
Side 128 - For it was not an enemy that reproached me ; Then I could have borne it : Neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me ; Then I would have hid myself from him : But it was thou, a man mine equal, My guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, And walked unto the house of God in company.
Side 262 - Strong feeling is naturally contagious ; and if, as the wise man observes, as ' iron sharpeneth iron, so doth the countenance of a man his friend...
