My gracious Master and my God,   Assist me to proclaim, To spread through all the earth abroad   The honours of thy name. Jesus! the name that charms our fears,   That bids our sorrows cease; 'Tis music in the sinner's ears,   'Tis life, and health, and peace. He breaks the power of cancelled sin,   He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean,   His blood availed for me. He speaks, and, listening to his voice,   New life the dead receive, The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,   The humble poor believe. Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,   Your loosened tongues employ; Ye blind, behold your Saviour come,   And leap, ye lame, for joy. Look unto him, ye nations, own   Your God, ye fallen race; Look, and be saved through faith alone,   Be justified by grace. See all your sins on Jesus laid:   The Lamb of God was slain, His soul was once an offering made   For every soul of man. Awake from guilty nature's sleep,   And Christ shall give you light, Cast all your sins into the deep,   And wash you purest white. With me, your chief, ye then shall know,   Shall feel your sins forgiven; Anticipate your heaven below,   And own that love is heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mountains are in labour, the birth will be an absurd little mouse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50352]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mountains are in labour, the birth will be an absurd little mouse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The prince of darkness is a gentleman ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4084]]></link><description><![CDATA[The prince of darkness is a gentleman]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spring's last-born darling, clear-eyed, sweet, Pauses a moment, with white twinkling feet,  And golden locks in breezy play,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26608]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spring's last-born darling, clear-eyed, sweet, Pauses a moment, with white twinkling feet,  And golden locks in breezy play,   Half teasing and half tender, to repeat    Her song of "May."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64637]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am the State. [Fr., L'etat c'est moi.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54483]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am the State. [Fr., L'etat c'est moi.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You three (county commissioners) sitting here have the power to end this today, but you won't, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40110]]></link><description><![CDATA[You three (county commissioners) sitting here have the power to end this today, but you won't,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sing away, ay, sing away, Merry little bird  Always gayest of the gay,   Though a woodland roundelay ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5199]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sing away, ay, sing away, Merry little bird  Always gayest of the gay,   Though a woodland roundelay    You ne'er sung not heard;     Though your life from youth to age      Passes is a narrow cage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The infields are dangerous.
