Pagina 137 - O tree with royal purple dight ! Elect on whose triumphal breast Those holy limbs should find their rest ! On whose dear arms, so widely flung, The weight of this world's ransom hung ; The price of human kind to pay, And spoil the spoiler of his prey.
Pagina 137 - THE Royal Banners forward go ; The Cross shines forth in mystic glow ; Where He in flesh, our flesh Who made, Our sentence bore, our ransom paid.
Pagina 51 - God's ordinance upon him, even so the vehement persuasion of his friends could nothing avail to divert him from his wilful resolution of going in his frigate; and when he was entreated by the captain, master, and others, his wellwishers in the " Hinde," not to venture, this was his answer — "I will not forsake my little company going homewards, with whom I have passed so many storms and perils.
