" Her pains increasing on her, she repeated the following lines, to which she was partial, with a most gentle and resigned voice :— " I would not contend with thy will Whatever that will may decree; But oh may each trial I feel, Unite me more firmly to Thee 1 'Tis better to suffer and die Beneath thy compassionate rod, Than find my enjoyments run high, But never have thee for my God.
الصفحة 195 - I am happy. I have no wants — no fears ! I had, indeed, a hard struggle to give up life without having done something more for my Saviour. I wished, had it been his will, to live to be useful; but now his will is my will. My soul doth magnify the Lord, and rejoice, yea, exceedingly rejoice, in his salvation !
