Page 35 - Sleep sweetly, tender heart, in peace : Sleep, holy spirit, blessed soul, While the stars burn, the moons increase, And the great ages onward roll. Sleep till the end, true soul and sweet.

Page 133 - GLORY be to Jesus, Who, in bitter pains, Poured for me the life-blood From His sacred veins ! Grace and life eternal In that Blood I find ; Blest be His compassion Infinitely kind...
