Side 175 - Pure Religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and the widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
Side 182 - Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
Side 181 - O that I had wings like a dove ! then would I flee away and be at rest.
Side 24 - Church universal; that it may be so guided and governed by thy good Spirit, that all who profess and call themselves Christians may be led into the way of truth, and hold the faith in unity of spirit, in the bond of peace, and in righteousness of life. Finally, we commend to thy fatherly goodness all those who are any ways afflicted, or distressed, in mind, body, or estate...
Side 167 - And, poets, let your lyrics with hope for man be fired ; Till the earth becomes a temple, and every human heart Shall join in one great service, each happy in his part.
Side 166 - The workshop must be crowded That the palace may be bright ; If the ploughman did not plough, Then the poet could not write. Then let every toil be hallowed That man performs for man, And have its share of honour As part of one great plan.
Side 175 - Because, sir, I find it is said in the Bible that pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and the widows in their affliction.
Side 166 - As part of one great plan. See, light darts down from heaven And enters where it may, The eyes of all earth's people Are cheered with one bright day ; And let the mind's true sunshine Be spread o'er earth as free, And fill the souls of men As the waters fill the sea. The man who turns the soil Need not have an earthy mind ; The digger 'mid the coal Need not be in spirit blind : The mind can shed a light On each worthy labour done, As lowliest things are bright In the radiance of the sun.
Side 50 - The scent of flowers recall my childhood well ; I feel the sun of new-born summer glowing ; And in my spirit's view, I see the stream And the bright fish that through the water gleam. Thank God for Music! for the pleasant voices Of boughs and winds and waters as they meet ; For every bird that in the wood rejoices, For every note in nature's concert sweet ; To me the lark's clear carolling on high Reveals the whole wide, blue, bright summer sky.
