“Βουλοιμην κ' επαρουρος εων θητευεμεν αλλω,
Η πασιν νεκυεσσι καταφθιμενοισιν ανασσειν .”
Hom. Od. xi. 488, 490.
Η πασιν νεκυεσσι καταφθιμενοισιν ανασσειν .”
Hom. Od. xi. 488, 490.
So doth man's sinful nature deem
With ill-foreboding gloom,
And strays as in a fearful dream
In realms beyond the tomb.
With ill-foreboding gloom,
And strays as in a fearful dream
In realms beyond the tomb.
For want, disgrace, and servitude
Seem nothing in that hour,
When Death's huge pinions o'er us brood,
We feel his chilling power.
Seem nothing in that hour,
When Death's huge pinions o'er us brood,
We feel his chilling power.
“Then He is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from
going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.”
Job xxxiii. 24.
Like Ocean rocking pole to pole
Eternity draws nigh,
The firm-set anchor of the soul
Quivers all tremblingly.
Eternity draws nigh,
The firm-set anchor of the soul
Quivers all tremblingly.
How blest as then we turn from earth
To touch the absolving key,
Far better than the day of birth
That light beyond the sea.
To touch the absolving key,
Far better than the day of birth
That light beyond the sea.
