Seite 45 - Thyself how wondrous then ! Unspeakable, who sit'st above these Heavens, To us invisible, or dimly seen In these thy lowest works ; yet these declare Thy goodness beyond thought, and power divine.
Seite 68 - The folds shall be full of sheep ; the valleys also shall stand so thick with corn, that they shall laugh and sing.
Seite 1 - O could I flow like thee, and make thy stream My great example, as it is my theme! Though deep, yet clear, though gentle, yet not dull, Strong without rage, without o'er-flowing full.
Seite 11 - Rolls fair and placid; where collected all In one impetuous torrent, down the steep It thundering shoots, and shakes the country round. At first an azure sheet, it rushes broad; Then whitening by degrees, as prone it falls, And from the loud-resounding rocks below Dash'd in a cloud of foam, it sends aloft A hoary mist, and forms a ceaseless shower.
Seite 39 - More numerous of old, which the Great King Pour'd out on GREECE from all th' unpeopled East ; That bridged the HELLESPONT from shore to shore, And drank the rivers dry.
Seite 59 - Resides in that heavenly word ! More precious than silver and gold, Or all that this earth can afford. But the sound of the church-going bell These valleys and rocks never heard, — Never sighed at the sound of a knell, Or smiled when a Sabbath appeared.
