Pàgina 264 - That changed through all, and yet in all the same, Great in the earth as in the ethereal frame, Warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze, Glows in the stars, and blossoms in the trees : Lives through all life, extends through all extent, Spreads undivided, operates unspent...
Pàgina 343 - As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
