Ye blessed souls at rest, Who ran this earthly race, And now, from sin released, Behold the Saviour's face,  God's praises sound,  As in his sight,  With sweet delight,  Ye do abound.  Ye saints, who toil below, Adore your heavenly King. And onward as ye go Some joyful anthem sing;  Take what he gives  And praise him still,  Through good or ill,  Who ever lives!  My soul, bear thou thy part, Triumph in God above: And with a well-tuned heart Sing thou the songs of love!  Let all thy days  Till life shall end,  Whate'er he send,  Be filled with praise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To include freedom in the very definition of democracy is to define a process not by its actual characteristics as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47203]]></link><description><![CDATA[To include freedom in the very definition of democracy is to define a process not by its actual characteristics as a process but by its hoped for results.
