ALMIGHTY God! whose blessed will was done By Jesus Christ, our Lord, thine only Son; Death overcome, and open'd unto men The gate of everlasting life again; Grant us, baptiz'd into his death, to die To all affections, but to things on high; That when, by thy preventing grace, we find The good desires to rise within our mind, Our wills may tend as thine shall still direct, And bring the good desires to good effect; Thro' Him, the one Redeemer from the fall, Who liv'd and died, and rose again for all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EASTER EVE by FRANCIS WILLIAM BOURDILLON EASTER SUNDAY by LUCILLE CLIFTON GOD SEND EASTER by LUCILLE CLIFTON NOT THE CUCKOLD'S DREAM; FOR SAM PEREIRA by NORMAN DUBIE EASTER HYMN by GEORGE SANTAYANA I DEFINE THE DARKNESS CORRECT: THE FESTIVAL OF THE FRERES LUMIERES by ELENI SIKELIANOS SPANISH EASTER: 1926 by CONRAD AIKEN A HYMN FOR CHRISTMAS DAY (2) by JOHN BYROM |
