Pagina 20 - Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air; it shines in the light; It streams from the hills; it descends to the plain; And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.
Pagina 70 - GREAT God! what do I see and hear ? The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear, On clouds of glory seated! The trumpet sounds, the graves restore The dead which they contained before;— Prepare, my soul, to meet Him!
