Deep in this grave, her bones remain, -She's sleeping on bereft of pain, -Her tongue in silence now does sleep,And she no more times call can greet.She lived, as all God's saints should do,Resigned to death, and suffering too:She feel's not pain, nor…
Launch thy bark, mariner!
Christian, God speed thee!
Let loose the rudder bands -
Good angels lead thee!
Set thy sails warily,
Tempests will come:

The skies might…

Build up the waste places
The altars of prayer,
In the land of your fathers,
For thy Bethel is there.
From the south, oh ye chosen,
From the east and…
Is it not the deep drawn sigh?
Is it not in the stifled groan,
When solitary and alone,
And with the Spirit hovering nigh?
Is it not in the anguish'd prayer
Of him who feels his heart is riven,
And seeks to lay his burthen where
There is a…
