By Dr. HH MILMAN, Dean of St. Panl's ; b. in London, 1791 ; d. 1868. *HE chariot ! the chariot ! its wheels roll on fire, As the Lord cometh down in the pomp of His ire; Self-moving, it drives on its pathway of cloud, And the heavens with the burden of Godhead are bowed.

Page 133 - Say, shall we yield Him in costly devotion Odours of Edom and offerings divine, Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
Page 145 - As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold ; As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright, — So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee.
