THE CHURCH OF CHRIST: 2. CALLED, by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL Poet's Biography First Line: Holy brethren, called and chosen by the sovereign voice of might Last Line: For the prize of this high calling bravely to the end endure. Subject(s): Christianity | ||||||||
HOLY brethren, called and chosen by the sovereign Voice of Might, See your high and holy calling out of darkness into light! Called according to His purpose and the riches of His love; Won to listen by the leading of the gentle heavenly Dove! Called to suffer with our Master, patiently to run His race; Called a blessing to inherit, called to holiness and grace; Called to fellowship with Jesus, by the Ever-Faithful One; Called to His eternal glory, to the kingdom of His Son. Whom He calleth He preserveth, and His glory they shall see; He is faithful that hath called you; He will do it, fear not ye! Therefore, holy brethren, onward! thus ye make your calling sure; For the prize of this high calling bravely to the end endure. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EL GRECO: ESPOLIO by EARL (EARLE) BIRNEY RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION by MINA LOY THE INCARNATE ONE by EDWIN MUIR OUR LADY OF ARDBOE by PAUL MULDOON LITTLE WHITE CHURCH by MARILYN NELSON CONSECRATION HYMN by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL I DID THIS FOR THEE!
