Стр. 286 - Saw ye not the cloud arise, Little as a human hand? Now it spreads along the skies, — Hangs o'er all the thirsty land ; Lo! the promise of a shower Drops already from above ; But the Lord will shortly pour All the Spirit of his love.

Стр. 286 - When He first the work begun, Small and feeble was His day : Now the word doth swiftly run, Now it wins its widening way : More and more it spreads and grows, Ever mighty to prevail ; Sin's strongholds it now o'erthrows, Shakes the trembling gates of hell.
Стр. 39 - HARK! from the tombs a doleful sound! My ears attend the cry; " Ye living men, come view the ground, Where you must shortly lie. 2 " Princes, this clay must be your bed, In spite of all your towers; The tall, the wise, the reverend head Must lie as low as ours.
