Page 336 - MOST merciful God, who, according to the multitude of thy mercies, dost so put away the sins of those who truly repent, that thou rememberest them no more ; Open thine eye of mercy upon this thy servant, who most earnestly desireth pardon and forgiveness.

Page 135 - His name hath perished from the earth, This truth survives alone : — That joy and grief, and hope and fear, Alternate triumphed in his breast ; His bliss and woe, — a smile, a tear ! Oblivion hides the rest. The bounding pulse, the languid limb, The changing spirits...
Page 135 - The changing spirits' rise and fall, We know that these were felt by him, For these are felt by all. He suffered, — but his pangs are o'er ; Enjoyed,— but his delights are fled ; Had friends, — his friends are now no more ; And foes, — his foes are dead. He...
