Pàgina 51 - PLEASANT it was, when woods were green, And winds were soft and low, To lie amid some sylvan scene, Where, the long drooping boughs between, Shadows dark and sunlight sheen Alternate come and go ; Or where the denser grove receives No sunlight from above, But the dark foliage interweaves In one unbroken roof of leaves, Underneath whose sloping eaves The shadows hardly move. Beneath some patriarchal tree I lay upon the ground...
Pàgina 344 - Thou knowest all the future ; gleams of gladness By stormy clouds too quickly overcast ; Hours of sweet fellowship and parting sadness, And the dark river to be crossed at last. Oh, what could hope and confidence afford To tread that path, but this? Thou knowest, Lord.
Pàgina 201 - Jesus, Thou Prince of Life, Thy chosen cannot die : Like Thee, they conquer in the strife, To reign with Thee on high.
Pàgina 203 - And make a place in thy great heart for her, And give her time to grow, and cherish her; Then will she come, and oft will sing to thee, When thou art working in the furrows; ay, Or weeding in the sacred hour of dawn. It is a comely fashion to be glad, — Joy is the grace we say to God.

Pàgina 39 - HE liveth long who liveth well ! All other life is short and vain ; He liveth longest who can tell Of living most for heavenly gain. He liveth long who liveth well ! All else is being flung away ; He liveth longest who can tell Of true things truly done each day.
Pàgina 312 - And sweet is youth, although it hath bereft us Of that which made our childhood sweeter still ; And sweet is middle life, for it hath left us A nearer Good to cure an older 111 : And sweet are all things, when we learn to prize them Not for their sake, but His who grants them or denies them.
Pàgina 39 - Let the great Master's steps be thine. Fill up each hour with what will last; Buy up the moments as they go; The Ufe above, when this is past, Is the ripe fruit of life below.
Pàgina 8 - But seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all other things shall be added unto you ? Dare you believe this promise or not ? I DARE : and will act accordingly, by God's assistance.
