Thine I am, O spotless Lamb; I will suffer naught to hide Thee,  Ask for naught beside Thee. In Thine arm I rest me; foes who would molest me  Cannot reach me here.

Hence, all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness,  Jesus, enters in: Those who love the Father, though the storms may gather,  Still have peace within; Yes, whate'er we here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,  Jesus, priceless treasure!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25754]]></link><description><![CDATA[To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough.
