Σελίδα 79 - The hand that gave it still supplies The gracious light and heat : His truths upon the nations rise ; They rise, but never set.
Σελίδα 131 - Thus to relieve the wretched was his pride, And even his failings lean'd to virtue's side ; But in his duty prompt at every call, He watch'd and wept, he pray'd and felt for all.

Σελίδα 17 - Thou art coming to a King : Large petitions with thee bring; For his grace and power are such None can ever ask too much.
Σελίδα 118 - QUIET, Lord, my froward heart, Make me teachable and mild ; Upright, simple, free from art, Make me as a weaned child : From distrust and envy free, Pleased with all that pleases thee.
Σελίδα 33 - E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die.
Σελίδα 188 - I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
Σελίδα 78 - Restraining prayer, we cease to fight . Prayer makes the Christian's armour bright ; And Satan trembles when he sees The weakest saint upon his knees.
