Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare him room,  And heav'n and nature sing. Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns!  Let men their songs employ, While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains,  Repeat the sounding joy. No more let sins and sorrows grow,  Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make his blessings flow  Far as the curse is found. He rules the world with truth and grace,  And makes the nations prove The glories of his righteousness,  And wonders of his love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today the discredit of words is very great.

He was not indifferent to observances, but the practices of the people bulked in His thoughts before the practices of the Church. It has been pointed out as a blemish on the immortal allegory of Bunyan that the Pilgrim never did anything -- anything but save his soul. The remark is scarcely fair, for the allegory is designedly the story of a soul in a single relation; and, besides, he did do a little. But the warning may well be weighed. The Pilgrim's one thought, his work by day, his dream by night, was escape. He took little part in the world through which he passed. He was a Pilgrim travelling through it; his business was to get through safe. Whatever this is, it is not Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy man be his dole! -The Merry Wives of Windsor. Act iii.
