Page 381 - Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body.
Page 169 - Shrink from me, turn from me, mother and child. Strong and free, strong and free. The floodgates are open, away to the sea, Free and strong, free and strong, Cleansing my streams as I hurry along, To the golden sands, and the leaping bar, And the taintless tide that awaits me afar, As I lose myself in the infinite main.
