Its holy flame for ever burneth, From Heaven it came, to Heaven returneth...
Pàgina 4 - Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun...
Pàgina 158 - Decay's effacing fingers Have swept the lines where beauty lingers,) And mark'd the mild angelic air, The rapture of repose that's there, The fixed yet tender traits that streak The languor of the placid cheek, And but for that sad shrouded eye, That fires not, wins not, weeps not, now.
Pàgina 17 - And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, And they shall hear the earth ; And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil ; And they shall hear Jezreel.
