Pagina 162 - Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam, And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

Pagina 258 - Praise to God, immortal praise, For the love that crowns our days ; Bounteous source of every joy ! Let thy praise our tongues employ. For the blessings of the field ; For the stores the gardens yield ; For the vine's exalted juice ; For the generous olive's use.
Pagina 28 - The plants and the trees are made to give fruit to man ; but man is made to praise God who made him. We love to praise him, because he loveth to bless us ; we thank him for life, because it is a pleasant thing to be alive. We love God, who hath created all beings ; we love all beings, because they are the creatures of God.
