What reasonable or acceptable service can we then perform to God? When our candle is just sinking into the socket, how shall our light "so shine before men that they may see our good works"?... I will not pronounce anything concerning the impossibility of a death-bed repentance, but I am sure that it is very difficult, and, I believe, very rare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Naming & Circumcision of Jesus The blessed son of God only In a crib full poor did ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Naming & Circumcision of Jesus The blessed son of God only In a crib full poor did lie; With our poor flesh and our poor blood Was clothed that everlasting good The Lord Christ Jesu, God's son dear, Was a guest and a stranger here; Us for to bring from misery, That we might live eternally.
