Popular passages
Page 105 - Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky.
Page 23 - Call upon me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
Page 136 - He is a path, if any be misled ; He is a robe, if any naked be ; If any chance to hunger, he is bread ; If any be a bondman, he is free ; If any be but weak, how strong is he ! To dead men life he is, to sick men health, To blind men sight, and to the needy wealth, A pleasure without loss, a treasure without stealth.
Page 36 - But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne; nor by the earth; for it is his footstool : neither by Jerusalem ; for it is the city of the great King.

Page 52 - One to-day is worth two to-morrows, as Poor Richard says ; and further, Never leave that till to-morrow which you can do to-day. If you were a servant would you not be ashamed that a good master should catch you idle? Are you then your own master? Be ashamed to catch yourself idle...
Page 67 - IF you're told to do a thing. And mean to do it really, Never let it be by halves ; Do it fully, freely. Do not make a poor excuse, Waiting, weak, unsteady ; All obedience worth the name Must be prompt and ready.
Page 84 - Jesus, my heart's dear refuge, Jesus has died for me; Firm on the Rock of Ages, Ever my trust shall be. Here let me wait with patience, Wait till the night is o'er; Wait till I see the morning Break on the golden shore.
Page 84 - Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe from corroding care, Safe from the world's temptations, Sin cannot harm me there. Free from the blight of sorrow, Free from my doubts and fears ; Only a few more trials, Only a few more tears ! Safe in the arms, etc.
