Seite 138 - My country is the heavenly sphere : While God here wills my stay, His grace my powers shall sway. Death ! when for me you are designed, But little work in me you'll find. , My all is God's possession grown, I nothing keep to call my own : If any self you see Remaining still in me, O ! that should long ago have died, Had I the lurking ill descried.
Seite 138 - MY soul lives but a stranger here, My country is the heavenly sphere : While God here wills my stay, His grace my powers shall sway. Death ! when for me you are designed, But little work in me you'll find.
Seite 137 - God's right Hand. Where Saints their robes of ray expand. Where Saints are kings, and on their state High Angels wait. Such blessings on the Saints attend, When Jesus-like they Heaven ascend, The Lamb, of joys the boundless spring, They'll ever sing.
Seite 114 - The saints of old are rather said To sleep with fathers than lie dead ; And e'er since evangelic day Diffused its bright heaven-opening ray, The saints are said, when life they close, In dormitories to repose.

Seite 82 - ... from stage to stage (A cheering and a prized relief), Of faith's hard pilgrimage. There is a scene where Jesus ne'er, Ne'er leaves his happy guests ; He spreads a ceaseless banquet there, And love still fires their breasts.
Seite 6 - But turned from heaven my view, I still had something else to do ; Till God a dream instructive sent, To warn me timely to repent. Methought death with his dart, Had mortally transfixed my heart ; And devils round about, To seize my spirit flying out, Cried — Now, of which you took no care, Is turned to Never and despair.
Seite 7 - Now, of which you took no care, Is turned to Never and despair. I gave a sudden start, And waked, with Never in my heart ; Still I that Never felt, Never upon my spirit dwelt, A thousand thanks to God I paid, That my sad Never was delayed.
Seite 139 - In ruins when it lies, It glorious shall arise, And rise to a much nobler height Than the first temple, much more bright. Should you my heaven-born soul attempt, That from your terrors lives exempt, You ne'er with all your skill Could souls immortal kill ; You need not me and world divide — I long ago the world denied. I have prevented all your force, Which from my friends might me divorce ; To friends, though truly dear, My heart dares not adhere : No perfect friend but God I know ; For God I...
Seite 2 - SAW this day a miser old, Receive and count a bag of gold ; His spectacles he cleared, And on his nostrils reared, Then moved his table toward the light, To gain an unobstructed sight. The pieces one by one he took, And fixed on either side his look, The edge he searched with care, To find deficience there, Next to the touchstone it applied, And by the current standard tried.
