Page 239 - Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind ; neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

Page 94 - Enable us ever to realize that there is one body and one spirit, even as we are called in one hope of our calling ; one Lord, one faith, one baptism ; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all...
Page 70 - Pardon for infinite offence ! and pardon Through means that speak its value infinite ! A pardon bought with blood ! with blood divine ! With blood divine of him I made my foe ! Persisted to provoke ! though woo'd, and aw'd, Blest, and chastis'd, a flagrant rebel still!
Page 205 - Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course ; Fire, ascending, seeks the sun ; Both speed them to their source : So a soul, that's born of God, Pants to view His glorious face, Upward tends to His abode, To rest in His embrace.
