Σελίδα 60 - THERE is no flock, however watched and tended, But one dead lamb is there ! There is no fireside, howsoe'er defended, But has one vacant chair ! The air is full of farewells to the dying, And mournings for the dead; The heart of Rachel, for her children crying, Will not be comforted...
Σελίδα 60 - There is no Death ! What seems so is transition This life of mortal breath Is but a suburb of the life elysian, Whose portal we call Death. She is not dead, — the child of our affection, — But gone unto that school Where she no longer needs our poor protection, And Christ himself doth rule.
Σελίδα 196 - My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him : for whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons ; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not ? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Σελίδα 15 - ASLEEP in Jesus! blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep! A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes.
Σελίδα 158 - I beheld, and lo ! a great multitude, which no man can number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues...
Σελίδα 145 - Ah! well do I remember those Whose names these records bear; Who round the hearth-stone used to close, After the evening prayer, And speak of what these pages said In tones my heart would thrill! Though they are with the silent dead, Here are they living still!
Σελίδα 165 - For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth shall he be called.
Σελίδα 90 - Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
Σελίδα 19 - Lo, He beckons from on high ! Fearless to His presence fly ! Thine the merit of His Blood ; Thine the Righteousness of God. Angels, joyful to attend ; Hovering round thy pillow, bend ; Wait to catch the signal given, And escort thee quick to Heaven.
Σελίδα 206 - In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
