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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scarcely two hundred years back can Fame recollect articulately at all; and there she but maunders and mumbles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15099]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scarcely two hundred years back can Fame recollect articulately at all; and there she but maunders and mumbles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To bee beloved is above all bargaines. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50000]]></link><description><![CDATA[To bee beloved is above all bargaines.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us believe neither half of the good people tell us of ourselves, nor half the evil they say of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10623]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us believe neither half of the good people tell us of ourselves, nor half the evil they say of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24848]]></link><description><![CDATA[What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves?
