Popular passages
Page 421 - Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Page 430 - See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
Page 128 - It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
Page 156 - The upper air burst into life, And a hundred fire-flags sheen, To and fro they were hurried about ; And to and fro, and in and out The wan stars danced between.
Page 163 - THIS is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks, Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight, Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic, Stand like harpers hoar, with beards that rest on their bosoms. Loud from its rocky caverns, the deep-voiced neighboring ocean Speaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the forest.
Page 155 - The many men so beautiful! And they all dead did lie: And a thousand thousand slimy things Lived on; and so did I.
Page 157 - If he may know which way to go; For she guides him smooth or grim. See, brother, see! how graciously She looketh down on him. FIRST VOICE But why drives on that ship so fast, Without or wave or wind?
Page 180 - there is more joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, than over ninety and nine just persons that need no repentance.
Page 160 - O sweeter than the marriage-feast, Tis sweeter far to me, To walk together to the kirk With a goodly company! — To walk together to the kirk, And all together pray, While each to his great Father bends, Old men, and babes, and loving friends, And youths and maidens gay!
Page 3 - He holds him with his glittering eye — The Wedding-Guest stood still, And listens like a three years' child: The Mariner hath his will.
