I RISE and raise my clasped hands to Thee! Henceforth, the darkness hath no part in me, Thy sacrifice this day; Abiding firm, and with a freeman's might Stemming the waves of passion in the fight; -- Ah, should I from Thee stray, My hoary head, Thy table where I bow, Will be my shame, which are mine honour now. Thus I set out; -- Lord! lead me on my way! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LAMENT OF KING ARTASHES WHEN DYING by GREGORY A HERMITAGE by GREGORY OF NAZIANZUS EVENING by GREGORY OF NAZIANZUS THE MARRIED AND THE SINGLE; A FRAGMENT by GREGORY OF NAZIANZUS THE PRIESTLY OFFICE by GREGORY OF NAZIANZUS TO GOD by GREGORY OF NAZIANZUS THE REWARD by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON THE AWAKENING RIVER by KATHERINE MANSFIELD GREEK SONG: 1.
