Strana 206 - Waft, waft, ye winds, his story, And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole ; Till o'er our ransomed nature, The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, In bliss returns to reign ! HEBEK.
Strana 157 - tis nought to me: Since GOD is ever present, ever felt, In the void waste as in the city full; And where he vital breathes there must be joy.
Strana 123 - ... of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them.

In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens.

Strana 110 - OD of my life, to thee belong The thankful heart — the grateful song ; Touch'd by thy love, each tuneful chord Resounds the goodness of the Lord. 2 Thou hast preserv'd my fleeting breath, And chas'd the gloomy shades of death ; The venom'd arrows vainly fly, When God our great deliv'rer's nigh.
