Sayfa 111 - Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a riband of blue : and it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them...
Sayfa 66 - He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me ? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
Sayfa 32 - HE lives who lives to God, alone, And all are dead beside ; For other source than God is none Whence life can be supplied. To live to God is to requite His love as best we may ; To make His precepts our delight, His promises our stay.
Sayfa 106 - One may they be as We are One, That I in them and Thou in Me, They One with Us may ever be.
Sayfa 135 - T is then the soul is freed from fears And doubts which here annoy ; Then they that oft had sown in tears Shall reap again in joy. 3 There is a home of sweet repose, Where storms assail no more ; The stream of endless pleasure flows On that celestial shore.
Sayfa 97 - ... not perish be These pages numbered ; youth shall know How to perfection's symmetry The daughter of the Lord may grow ; And here, as mirrored in a glass, May see how fair the saint may shine, Who lets this world unheeded pass, And surely seeks a world divine. Farewell ! I weep that flower so young, The nursling of a gentle sky, Should on our shores be coldly flung, In all its loveliness, to air. And yet 'twas ordered by His will, Who wisely hath events decreed — Thou wast but lent ; ye griefs,...
Sayfa 53 - But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath : wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth ; and his eyes were enlightened.
Sayfa 94 - s passed beyond the skies ? I know that Fancy's pearls may shine On Beauty, and like pearls be cold ; That Flattery's flowers round Wit may twine, And die on bosoms they enfold ; And well I know the exalted Mind That late informed thy perfect clay, Would not with Love or Wit be shrined, Nor be adored in servile lay. I know that Death invests the friend With worth, Existence never knew ; And to defects we love to lend The veil that gives them Virtue's hue ; But thou need'st not our glimmering light...
Sayfa 96 - ... well, this tropic gem All polished — though to these unknown — So early shines, a diadem, Where shines the rainbow-cinctured throne. Thanks for the record of thy worth, Traced by affection's modest pen ; Tears gave I to its earnest truth, Though counted not with weeping men ; And better thought I of my race, Redeemed by excellence so rare ; And richer seemed abounding Grace That sought and dowered such lovely heir. With books that may not perish, be These pages numbered ; — youth shall...
Sayfa 95 - ... didst upon its page Of flowers and shells and planets look ; And yet, from flower, and star, and sea, A very child — did'st turn away, To seek the glances dear to thee, In thine own quiet Kailua. I love to think how free thou wast From Fashion's lore, that taints our kind ; That still is purchased at the cost Of kingdoms — a transparent mind ! And sigh to think earth has so few — Such price is for refinement paid — As thou, to simple Nature true, A guileless and a trusting maid. I sigh...
