For him shall endless prayer be made,  And princes throng to crown his head; His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise With every morning sacrifice. People and realms of every tongue Dwell on his love with sweetest song, And infant-voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his name. Blessings abound where'er he reigns; The prisoners leap to lose their chains; The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. Let every creature rise and bring Honors peculiar to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud amen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Someone who's like Angelina Jolie because she isn't scared of not being pretty.
