Sida 156 - And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument : for they hear thy words, but they do them not.
Sida 166 - There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign ; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. There everlasting spring abides, And never-withering flowers : Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours.
Sida 192 - For all flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
Sida 97 - Shall there be evil in the city and the Lord hath not done it?

Sida 168 - Lord, why is this, I trembling cried, Wilt thou pursue thy worm to death? "Tis in this way," the Lord replied, "I answer prayer for grace and faith.
