HIS GLORY TELL, by HORATIO (HORATIUS) BONAR Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Apostles of the risen christ, go forth Last Line: All nations bowing to his high command, Subject(s): Jesus Christ | ||||||||
Apostles of the risen Christ, go forth! Let love compel. Go, and in risen power proclaim His worth, O'er every region of the dead, cold earth-- His glory tell! Tell how He lived, and toiled, and wept below; Tell all His love; Tell the dread wonders of His awful woe; Tell how He fought our fight, and smote our foe, Then rose above! Tell how in weakness He was crucified, But rose in power; Went up on high, accepted, glorified; News of His victory spread far and wide, From hour to hour. Tell how He sits at the right hand of God In glory bright, Making the heaven of heavens His glad abode; Tell how He cometh with the iron rod His foes to smite. Tell how His kingdom shall thro' ages stand, And never cease; Spreading like sunshine over every land, All nations bowing to His high command, | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GREEN CHRIST by ANDREW HUDGINS MEDITATION ON SAVIORS by ROBINSON JEFFERS COMPANIONSHIP by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK TO A WREN ON CALVARY by LARRY LEVIS THE TRANSFIGURATION by EDWIN MUIR SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 1.
