Pàgina 331 - tis to see A whole assembly worship Thee ! At once they sing, at once they pray ; They hear of heaven, and learn the way. I have been there, and still would go, 'Tis like a little heaven below ; Not all my pleasure and my play Shall tempt me to forget this day.
Pàgina 323 - In works of labour or of skill I would be busy too; For Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do. In books, or work, or healthful play, Let my first years be past ; That I may give for every day Some good account at last.

Pàgina 318 - LET dogs delight to bark and bite, For God hath made them so; Let bears and lions growl and fight, For 'tis their nature too.
Pàgina lxxv - Give me the wings of faith to rise Within the veil, and see The saints above, how great their joys, How bright their glories be. 2 Once they were mourning here below, And wet their couch with tears; They wrestled hard, as we do now, With sins, and doubts, and fears.
Pàgina 345 - Just such is the Christian : his course he begins, Like the sun in a mist, while he mourns for his sins, And melts into tears ; then he breaks out and shines. And travels his heavenly way : But when he comes nearer to finish his race, Like a fine setting sun he looks richer in grace, And gives a sure hope at the end of his days Of rising in brighter array.
