Stran 22 - DEFORE Jehovah's awful throne, •*-' Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone, He can create, and He destroy. 2 His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to His fold again.
Stran 22 - We'll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise. ¿ Wide as the world is Thy command, Vast as eternity Thy love; Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.
Stran 48 - God gave her peace; her land reposed; A thousand claims to reverence closed In her as Mother, Wife and Queen ; " And statesmen at her council met Who knew the seasons, when to take Occasion by the hand, and make The bounds of freedom wider yet, By shaping some august decree, Which kept her throne unshaken still, Broad-based upon her people's will, And compassed by the inviolate sea.
Stran 53 - ... smoke may recall to your mind that balloon, for as smoke and gas are both of them rising fumes and vapours, there is a certain resemblance between them; in fact I plead guilty, in some degree, to the charge, which was so adriotly insinuated by my honourable friend in the chair. But having expressed my very sincere hope that something will be done upon that subject, I must again remind you that the doing of these things rests with you. " It rests with you in your private sphere and capacity, as...

Stran 4 - March, 1772, in the 67th year of his age, and was buried in the college chapel in the first vestry by the south door.
Stran 52 - ... merely to gentlemen who have an abundant supply of soap and water and towels, and who have plenty of time to use them — but for the masses of the labouring people it is exceedingly desirable that they should, if possible, live in a free atmosphere. Why, I will venture to say — I will make no reference to Lancashire, but I will take the case of London — I have not the smallest doubt but what between the application of soap and water to the person, their application to clothing, and their...
Stran 26 - I think it was about thirty years ago, when a gentleman of high character and great ability, employed in the public service in Ireland, created very considerable alarm and apprehension by putting forward in a concise and telling form, what was thought the somewhat revolutionary doctrine that property has its duties as well as its rights.
Stran 53 - ... yet been finally and fully travelled, and endeavour to make a further, aye, and a much more effectual and stringent improvement in regard to the consumption of unnecessary smoke. " Well now, ladies and gentlemen, perhaps you will think that this topic of smoke may recall to your mind that balloon, for as smoke and gas are both of them rising fumes and vapours, there is a certain resemblance between them; in fact I plead guilty, in some degree, to the charge, which was so adriotly insinuated by...
Stran 53 - ... millions a year to the population of the metropolis alone. " But that is not all. Those who live in towns may, it is true, get into the country sometimes, but still their life is in the towns. Their visits to the country are for the most part few and occasional, if not far between. I do not believe that the Park of Mr. Barnes ever will wear that aspect of beauty which it ought to have or ever will open in full those opportunities of communion with the works of God in creation, which the Park...
