Страница 341 - Thou preparedst room before it, And didst cause it to take deep root, And it filled the land. The hills were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. She sent out her boughs unto the sea, And her branches unto the river.
Страница 242 - The only point where human bliss stands still, And tastes the good without the fall to ill ; Where only merit constant pay receives, Is...

Страница 264 - That changed through all, and yet in all the same, Great in the earth as in the ethereal frame, Warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze, Glows in the stars, and blossoms in the trees : Lives through all life, extends through all extent, Spreads undivided, operates unspent...
Страница 343 - As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
