John Austin Poems
Open thine eyes, my soul, and see
Once more the light returns to thee:
Look round about, and chuse the way
...
Rise royal Sion! rise and sing
Thy souls kind Shepherd, thy harts King:
Stretch all thy pow'rs; call if you can,
...
Hark, my soul, how everything
Strives to serve our bounteous King:
Each a double tribute pays,
Sings its part, and then obeys.
...
Blest be thy love, dear Lord,
That taught us this sweet way,
Only to love Thee for Thyself,
...
Night forbear; alas, our Praise,
And our young begining hope,
Set to grow on these blest days,
Faint and dull requires more scope.
...
Rejoyce chast Queen of Angels, and apply
All those blest Quires to sing this Victory:
He that was born of Thee, and dy'd for us,
...
Wake now, my Soul, and humbly hear
What thy mild Lord commands:
Each word of his wil charm thine ear,
Each word wil guide thy hands.
...
Behold we come, dear Lord, to Thee;
And bow before thy Throne:
We come to offer, on our knee,
Our vows to Thee alone.
...
Blest be thy love, dear Lord,
That taught us this sweet way,
Only to love Thee for Thyself,
...
Hail Queen of Angels holy Quires;
Hail whom the Court of heav'n admires;
Thou art the Root whence our joys spring;
...
Hail Queen of Saints; Hail mercies Mother
Our life, our hope, our comfort, Hail:
To thee, deploring one another,
...
Wake my Soul, rise from this Bed
Of dull and sluggish earth:
Quickly rise, lift up thy head,
And see thy Lords new birth.
...
Dear Jesu, when, when will it be,
That I no more shall break with Thee!
When will this war of passions cease;
...
Come let's adore the King of love,
And King of sufferings too:
For love it was that brought him down,
...
Lord, now the time returns,
For weary man to rest;
And lay aside those pains and cares
...

The Best Poem Of John Austin
Hymn Xiii. Open Thine Eyes, My Soul, And See
Open thine eyes, my soul, and see
Once more the light returns to thee:
Look round about, and chuse the way
Thou mean'st to travel o're to day.
Think on the dangers thou mayst meet,
And always watch thy sliding feet:
Think where thou once hast faln before,
And mark the place, and fall no more.
Think on the helps thy God bestows;
And cast to steer thy life by those:
Think on the sweets thy soul did feel,
When thou didst well, and do so still.
Think on the pains that shall torment
Those stubborn sins that ne're repent:
Think on the joys which wait above,
To crown the head of holy love.
Think what at last will be thy part,
If thou go'st on where now thou art:
See life and death set thee to chuse;
One thou must take, and one refuse.
O my dear Lord, guide thou my course,
And draw me on with thy sweet force:
Still make me walk, still make me tend,
By Thee my way, to Thee my end.
All glory to the sacred Three,
One undivided Deity:
As it has been in ages gone,
May now, and ever, still be done.

John Austin Quotes
Certainly, then, ordinary language is not the last word: in principle it can everywhere be supplemented and improved upon, and superseded. Only remember, it is the first word.
Words are not (except in their own little corner) facts or things;we need therefore to prise them off the world, to hold them apart from and against it, so that we can realize their inadequacies and arbitrariness, and can re-look at the world without blinkers.
