Popular passages
Page 320 - Guide me, O thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land. I am weak, but thou art mighty : Hold me with thy powerful hand. Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more. Open now the crystal fountain Whence the living waters flow; Let the fiery, cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through.
Page 317 - foil the tempter's power? Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless : Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting ? where, grave, thy victory ? I triumph still, if thou abide
Page 320 - of earthly bliss Thy sovereign will denies. Accepted at thy throne of grace Let this petition rise: Give me a calm and thankful heart, From every murmur free ; The blessings of thy grace impart, And make me live to thee. Let the sweet hope that thou art mine My path of life attend: Thy presence

Page 443 - Hail to thee, blithe spirit!—bird thou never wert,— That from heaven, or near it, pourest thy full heart In profuse strains of unpremeditated art. Higher still, and higher, from the earth thou springes* Like a cloud of fire ; the blue deep thou wingest, And singing still dost soar, and soaring ever, singest.
Page 60 - Then read from the treasured volume The poem of thy choice, And lend to the rhyme of the poet The beauty of thy voice. And the night shall be filled with music. And the cares, that infest the day, Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs, And as
Page 318 - day ; and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.

Page 385 - us Footprints on the sands of time; — Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Let us, then, be up and doing, Learn to labor and to wait.

In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice ; Forever singing, as they shine— "The hand that
