Էջ 24 - Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between.
Էջ 177 - For there is hope of a tree if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

Էջ 236 - For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same, my name shall be great among the gentiles, and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts.

Էջ 95 - And unknown regions dare descry : Still as they run they look behind, They hear a voice in every wind, And snatch a fearful joy.
