"I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man." Hosea 11:9. THE Lord, speaking of Himself as, "God, and not man," mentions as the special point in which He is above and beyond man, that He has greater Grace, greater long-suffering, and greater willingness to forgive—"I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man." In a thousand respects,…
Poetical Works of John and Charles Wesley by Wesley, John (1703-1791)
From the German. Paul Gerhardt (1606–1676) is said by one of his German biographers to have had John Arndt’s “Prayer and Paradise Garden” continually before him at the close of his life, and to have written “several hymns on its contents.” To Arndt, therefore, as its ultimate source, we must trace the invaluable hymn before us; which, as written by Gerhardt,…
