While death was lively in His thought, He heavenly truths with vigour taught, How to be loved of God, and love ; Promised sweet peace and joys above, And the bless'd Spirit's constant aid ; And for them all with fervour pray'd.
Seite 145 - O ! that should long ago have died, Had I the lurking ill descried. Perhaps you'll at my body aim — But that's devoted to God's name ; God there is pleased to build, A temple with God filled ; Dare you to ruin that design, Which temple is of Godhead trine.
