Strana 20 - Beauteous the moon full on the lawn; And beauteous, when the veil's withdrawn, The virgin to her spouse: Beauteous the temple, deck'd and fill'd, When to the heav'n of heav'ns they build Their heart-directed vows.
Strana 6 - Of man - the semblance and effect Of God and Love - the Saint elect For infinite applause To rule the land, and briny broad. To be laborious in his laud, And heroes in his cause.
Strana 3 - Contemplative — on God to fix His musings, and above the six The sabbath-day he blest ; 'Twas then his thoughts self-conquest prun'd, And heavenly melancholy tun'd, To bless and bear the rest.
Strana 7 - Blest was the tenderness he felt, When to his graceful harp he knelt, And did for audience call; When Satan with his hand he quelled, And in serene suspense he held The frantic throes of Saul.
Strana 22 - Glorious th' almighty stretch'd-out arm; Glorious th' enraptured main : LXXXV Glorious the northern lights astream ; Glorious the song, when God's the theme ; Glorious the thunder's roar : Glorious hosanna from the den ; Glorious the catholic amen; Glorious the martyr's gore : LXXXVI Glorious — more glorious is the crown Of Him that brought salvation down By meekness, call'd thy Son ; Thou at stupendous truth believ'd, And now the matchless deed's atchiev'd, DETERMINED, DARED, and DONE.
Strana 19 - Sweet is the dew that falls betimes, And drops upon the leafy limes ; Sweet, Hermon's fragrant air : Sweet is the lily's silver bell, And sweet the wakeful tapers' smell That watch for early prayer.
Strana 20 - But stronger still, in earth and air, And in the sea, the man of pray'r; And far beneath the tide ; And in the seat to faith assign'd, Where ask is have, where seek is find, Where knock is open wide.
Strana 11 - Tell them, I AM, JEHOVAH said To MOSES; while earth heard in dread, And, smitten to the heart, At once above, beneath, around, All Nature, without voice or sound, Replied, "O LORD, THOU ART.
Strana 2 - Great — from the lustre of his crown, From Samuel's horn and God's renown, Which is the people's voice ; For all the host, from rear to van, Applauded and embrac'd the man — The man of God's own choice.
