Page 430 - Muse, The place of fame and elegy supply: And many a holy text around she strews That teach the rustic moralist to die. For who, to dumb forgetfulness a prey, This pleasing anxious being e'er resign'd, Left the warm precincts of the cheerful day, Nor cast one longing lingering look behind?
Page 3 - Its endless being but begun ? Shall he, with an immortal mind, Too oft pursue life's shadows vain, — And with mysterious folly blind, Barter his soul for worldly gain ? Pangs, keenest to the lost, will spring From memory of their earthly state, — With moments ever on the wing, Yet felt not, prized not, till too late, Lord, teach us where our safety lies ; Let us the best of lessons learn ; Pilgrims below, may we be wise, And make our souls our chief concern ! _ Cottle. REFLECTIONS. "f") О not...
Page 437 - Savior at midnight, when moonlight's pale beams Shone bright on the waters, would frequently stray, And lose in thy murmurs the toils of the day. 2 How damp were the vapors that fell on his head ! How hard was his pillow, how humble his bed ! The angels, astonish'd, grew sad at the sight, Andfollow'd their Master with solemn delight.
Page viii - Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
Page 285 - ... night ! Let the great Immanuel's kingdom Open like the morning light, And the future Realize our visions bright. What are Satan's mightiest barriers, Which a breath of Thine o'erthrows ? Shall the creature, in his frenzy, The Creator's power oppose ? Him, whose lightning Ruin hurls upon His foes ? Come, too long to earth a stranger, Once again Thy reign restore ! In Thy strength, ride forth and conquer, Still advancing more and more^ Till the heathen Shall the Lord supreme adore.
Page 285 - MIGHTY Lord ! extend Thine empire ! Be the truth with triumph crown'd ! Let the lands that sit in darkness Hear the glorious gospel's sound, From our borders, To the world's remotest bound. By Thine arm, eternal Father, Scatter far the shades of night ! Let the great Immanuel's kingdom Open like the morning light, And the future Realize our visions bright. What are Satan's mightiest barriers, Which a breath of Thine o'erthrows ? Shall the creature, in his frenzy, The Creator's power oppose...
Page 250 - To sound the sinner's jubilee ! 5. The Lord of Life, so long predicted, In all his Father's might appears ! Ye righteous ! rich in consolation, Glad tidings now salute your ears ! See, Prophecy her page unfold ! The Vision of the Lamb, behold ! 6. What royal birth-place Him must welcome ? What sumptuous palace ? — garb of state ? What monarchs, proud of their obeisance, Must bend around a guest so great ? All costly robes of Tyrian dye Before the Lord of Life must lie ! 7. Ah, no ! His palace was...
Page 13 - And, near th' appointed hour may be Which sets our souls, from conflict, free. Though tempests now our bark endure, Our wind is fair, our course is sure ; While sailing o'er life's stormy tide, The Star of Faith shall be our guide. Our confidence is fix'd on one, The hope of earth, Jehovah's Son ; And, ever will we him confess, Who is our strength, and righteousness. With such a prospect, such a friend, Such hopes to cheer us to the end ; Let us, afresh, maintain the fight, And keep the glorious...
Page 5 - Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that sleep in Jesus will God bring with him."— I Thess.
Page viii - Editors possess the capability, let them compose hymns of their own, and when they have matured and polished their pieces, with laborious* care, in their best frames, and under the influence of their most hallowed desires, they will then learn to be more tender in their corrections, and to participate in the feeling which dictates these, (it is hoped, not too severe) remarks. Every writer should bear his own...
