Page 25 - And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
Page 36 - He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heaven, Saved by his precious blood.
Page 212 - And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king : and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle ; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man : if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.

Page 152 - Where they smile in secret, looking over wasted lands, Blight and famine, plague and earthquake, roaring deeps and fiery sands, Clanging fights, and flaming towns, and sinking ships, and praying hands. But they smile, they find a music centred in a doleful song Steaming up, a lamentation and an ancient tale of wrong, Like a tale of little meaning tho...
Page 257 - JESUS, these eyes have never seen That radiant form of thine ; The veil of sense hangs dark between Thy blessed face and mine. 2 I see thee not, I hear thee not, Yet art thou oft with me ; And earth hath ne'er so dear a spot As where I meet with thee.
Page 9 - This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
