Stran 87 - So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear, Farewell remorse : all good to me is lost ; Evil, be thou my good : by thee at least Divided empire with heaven's King I hold, By thee, and more than half perhaps will reign ; As man ere long and this new world shall know.
Stran 126 - Let — not — your — heart — be — troubled. In — my — Father's — house — are — many — mansions.
Stran 158 - Let us not therefore judge one another any more : but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
Stran 127 - So fades a summer cloud away, So sinks the gale when storms are o'er, So gently shuts the eye of day, So dies a wave along the shore.
Stran 158 - It is good neither to eat flesh nor to drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbleth or is offended or is made weak.
Stran 3 - What is our duty here ? — to tend From good to better— thence to best ; Grateful to drink life's cup, — then bend Unmurmuring to our bed of rest ; To pluck the flowers that round us blow, Scattering their fragrance as we go.

Stran 45 - In all places, then, and in all seasons, Flowers expand their light and soul-like wings, Teaching us, by most persuasive reasons, How akin they are to human things. And with childlike, credulous affection We behold their tender buds expand ; Emblems of our own great resurrection, Emblems of the bright and better land.
Stran 128 - Let faith each meek petition fill, And waft it to the skies ; And teach our hearts 'tis goodness still, That grants it or denies.
