Popular passages
Page 160 - PRUNE thou thy words, the thoughts control That o'er thee swell and throng ; They will condense within thy soul, And change to purpose strong. But he, who lets his feelings run In soft luxurious flow, Shrinks when hard service must be done, And faints at every woe. Faith's meanest deed more favour bears, Where hearts and wills are weighed, Than brightest transports, choicest prayers, Which bloom their hour and fade.
Page 90 - Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men ; that I might leave my people, and go from them ! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
Page 92 - Him God raised up the third day, and shewed Him openly; not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with Him after He rose from the dead.
Page 148 - LEAD, Kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on! The night is dark, and I am far from home! Lead Thou me on. Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene — one Step enough for me.

Page 36 - WEEP not for me; — Be blithe as wont, nor tinge with gloom The stream of love that circles home, Light hearts and free! Joy in the gifts Heaven's bounty lends; Nor miss my face, dear friends! I still am near; — Watching the smiles I prized on earth, Your converse mild, your blameless mirth; Now too I hear Of whispered sounds the tale complete, Low prayers, and musings sweet.
Page 146 - O that thy creed were sound ! For thou dost soothe the heart, Thou Church of Rome, By thy unwearied watch and varied round Of service, in thy Saviour's holy home.
Page 41 - Thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. LOBD, in this dust Thy sovereign voice First quickened love divine ; I am all Thine, — Thy care and choice, My very praise is Thine. I praise Thee, while Thy providence In childhood frail I trace, For blessings given, ere dawning sense Could seek or scan Thy grace ; Blessings in boyhood's marvelling hour, Bright dreams, and fancyings strange ; Blessings, when reason's awful power Gave thought a bolder range ; Blessings of friends, which to my door Unasked,...
Page 319 - I have dwelt, Is quitting me, or I am quitting it. Or I or it is rushing on the wings Of light or lightning, on an onward course, And we e'en now are million miles apart. Yet, is this peremptory severance Wrought out in lengthening measurements of space, Which grow and multiply by speed and time? Or am I traversing infinity By endless subdivision, hurrying back From finite towards infinitesimal, Thus dying out of the expanded world? Another marvel: some one has me fast Within his ample palm...
