WHO IS GOD SAVE THE LORD? WHO IS A ROCK SAVE OUR GOD?
"
And thus, what I would draw, to fee
Draw me, who would the drawer be !
The more thou doft my pray'r deny,
Alas ! the more I burn and figh,
Lamenting Love's perverfity.
AdtrahenSy abftrahor.
The Puller is pulled.
T IFE'S high-rais'd landmark is the firm set rock,
Emblem of HIM who moveth all around,
Himself quiescent, yet who gives the shock
Of Life and Motion which throughout abound.
Man, whose weak hand, and as it suits his will,
Would pull to him that rock, shall strive in vain,
And learn therein, his Destiny is still
Thereto but to be drawn, howe'er he strain.
Sure guide to those who unreluctant hale
Their bark thereon their toil shall best avail ;
And those who doubt, shall find it still prevail.
Si nunquam Danaen habuisset ahenea turris,
Non esset Danae de Jove facta parens. OVID, Amor. Eleg. 19.
Saepe ego cum possem facilem exorare puellam,
Difficilis mentem coepit habere meam.
Quod movet, quiefcit !
That which moves,
is at reft !
the Immoveable Rock, moves all. Psalm xviii.
EVERY good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the
Father of Lights, with whom is no variableness neither shadow of turning. -James i. 17.
DIEU N'A RIEN FAIT QUE DE BON.
