See the haven full in view, Love divine shall bear thee through; Trust to that propitious gale, Weigh thy anchor, spread the sail, Saints in glory perfect made, Wait thy passage through the shade, Ardent for thy coming o’er, See they throng the distant shore! Mount, their transports to improve, Join the longing choirs above, Swiftly to their wish be given, Kindle higher joys in heaven! --Such the prospects that _arise_ To the dying christian’s eyes! Such the glorious vista, faith Opens through the shades of death. _Toplady._ AWE. Stand in _awe_ and sin not; commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.--Psalm iv. 4. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in _awe_ of thy word.--Psalm cxix. 161. ’T is dreadful! How reverend is the place of this tall pile, Whose ancient pillars rear their marble heads, To bear aloft the arched and pond’rous roof, By its own weight made steadfast and immoveable! Looking tranquillity; it strikes an _awe_ And terror to my aching sight. The tombs And monumental caves of death look cold, And shoot a chillness to my trembling heart. _Congreve._ So in the faces of all these there grew, As by one impulse, a dark, freezing _awe_, Which, with a fearful fascination, drew All eyes towards the altar; damp and raw The air grew suddenly, and no man knew Whether perchance his silent neighbour saw The dreadful thing, which all were sure would rise To scare the strained lids wider from their eyes. The incense trembled as it upward sent Its slow, uncertain thread of wandering blue, As ’twere the only living element In all the church, so deeply the stillness grew; It seemed one might have heard it, as it went, Give out an audible rustle, curling through The midnight silence of the _awe_-struck air, More hushed than death, though no such life was there. _Jas. R. Lowell._ When on Sinai’s top I see God descend in majesty, To proclaim His holy law, All my spirit sinks with _awe_. _J. Montgomery._ With sacred _awe_ pronounce His name, Whom words nor thoughts can reach. _Needham._ BAPTISM. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, _baptizing_ them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.--Matthew, xxviii. 19. One Lord, one Faith, one _Baptism_.--Ephesians, iv. 5. Buried with Him in _Baptism_, wherein also ye are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised Him from the dead.--Colossians, ii. 12.
