GROWING, by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL Poet's Biography First Line: Unto him that hath, thou givest Last Line: Daily let me grow in grace. Subject(s): Grace; Jesus Christ | ||||||||
UNTO him that hath, Thou givest Ever "more abundantly." Lord, I live because Thou livest, Therefore give more life to me; Therefore speed me in the race; Therefore let me grow in grace. Deepen all Thy work, O Master, Strengthen every downward root, Only do Thou ripen faster, More and more, Thy pleasant fruit. Purge me, prune me, self abase, Only let me grow in grace. Jesus, grace for grace outpouring, Show me ever greater things; Raise me higher, sunward soaring, Mounting as on eagle-wings. By the brightness of Thy face, Jesus, let me grow in grace. Let me grow by sun and shower, Every moment water me; Make me really hour by hour More and more conformed to Thee, That Thy loving eye may trace, Day by day my growth in grace. Let me then be always growing, Never, never standing still; Listening, learning, better knowing Thee and Thy most blessed will. Till I reach Thy holy place, Daily let me grow in grace. | 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.
