Popular passages
Page 169 - 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 favor bears, Where hearts and wills are weighed, Than brightest transports, choicest prayers, Which bloom their hour and fade.
Page 156 - 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 156 - 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 351 - Praise to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise : In all His words most wonderful ; Most sure in all His ways.
Page 46 - Yet, Lord, in memory's fondest place I shrine those seasons sad, When, looking up, I saw Thy face In kind austereness clad. I would not miss one sigh or tear, Heart-pang, or throbbing brow ; Sweet was the chastisement severe, And sweet its memory now.
Page 96 - Him God raised up the third day, and showed 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 24 - Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas, Atque metus omnes, et inexorabile fatum Subjecit pedibus, strepitumque Acherontis avari.
Page 188 - MAN is permitted much To scan and learn In Nature's frame ; Till he well-nigh can tame Brute mischiefs and can touch Invisible things, and turn All warring ills to purposes of good. Thus, as a god below, He can control, And harmonize, what seems amiss to flow As sever'd from the whole And dimly understood.
Page 244 - No sinful word, nor deed of wrong, Nor thoughts that idly rove ; But simple truth be on our tongue, And in our hearts be love.
Page 25 - ... four; Yet, as their varying dance they wove, To my young heart each bore Its own sure claim of love. Far different now; — the whirling year Vainly my dizzy eyes pursue; And its fair tints appear All blent in one dusk hue. Why dwell on rich autumnal lights, Spring-time, or winter's social ring? Long days are fire-side nights, Brown autumn is fresh spring. Then what this world to thee, my heart? Its gifts nor feed thee nor can bless. Thou hast no owner's part In all its fleetingness.
