Side 126 - Jesus, confirm my heart's desire To work, and speak, and think for thee ; Still let me guard the holy fire, And still stir up thy gift in me. 4 Ready for all thy perfect will, My acts of faith and love repeat, Till death thy endless mercies seal, And make the sacrifice complete.
Side 99 - He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings; so the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
Side 6 - Thus to relieve the wretched was his pride, And e'en his failings leaned to virtue's side; But in his duty prompt at every call, He watched and wept, he prayed and felt for all: And, as a bird each fond endearment tries, To tempt its new-fledged offspring to the skies, He tried each art, reproved each dull delay, Allured to brighter worlds, and led the way.
Side 36 - Oh ! wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursels as others see us ! It wad frae mony a blunder free us And foolish notion : What airs in dress an' gait wad lea'e us, And e'en devotion ! ADDRESS TO EDINBURGH.
Side 142 - 2 O may I still from sin depart ; A wise and understanding heart, Jesus, to me be given ! And let me through thy spirit know, To glorify my God below, And find my way to heaven.
Side 69 - DEAD flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour : so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.
Side 154 - GOD moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform ; He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill, He treasures up his bright designs, And works his sovereign will.
Side 95 - that foolish thing Will strive no more to climb, When it toils so hard to reach and cling, And tumbles every time.
Side 135 - Their poison is like the poison of a serpent : they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear, which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
Side 26 - Little deeds of kindness, Little words of love, Make our earth an Eden, Like the heaven above.
