Seite 219 - These are they which were not defiled with women ; for they are virgins ; these are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the first-fruits unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile; for they are without fault before the throne of God.
Seite 324 - EVEN such is time, that takes in trust Our youth, our joys, our all we have, And pays us but with earth and dust; Who, in the dark and silent grave, When we have wandered all our ways, Shuts up the story of our days; But from this earth, this grave, this dust, My God shall raise me up, I trust!

Seite 120 - He preached the joys of Heaven and pains of Hell, And warned the sinner with becoming zeal, But on eternal mercy loved to dwell. He taught the Gospel rather than the Law And forced himself to drive, but loved to draw.
Seite 33 - FLUNG to the heedless winds, Or on the waters cast, Their ashes shall be watched, And gathered at the last : And from that scattered dust, Around us and abroad, Shall spring a plenteous seed Of witnesses for God.
Seite 276 - But to resume our old theme of scholars and their whereabout," said the Baron, with an unusual glow, caught, no doubt, from the golden sunshine, imprisoned, like the student Anselmus, in the glass bottle ; " where should the scholar live? In solitude, or in society? in the green stillness of the country, where he can hear the heart of Nature beat ; or in the dark, gray town, where he can hear and feel the throbbing heart of man?
