JESUS, IN COMPASSION AID!, by THOMAS BROCKHOLST LIVINGSTON First Line: When the angry billows roll Last Line: Jesus, in compassion aid! Subject(s): Jesus Christ; Prayer | ||||||||
When the angry billows roll, Sorrows overwhelm my soul; When my heart is sore afraid, Jesus, in compassion aid! When no comforter is night, None on whom I may rely; When in anguish I have prayed, Jesus, in compassion aid! When I faint in dire distress -- Tempted in the wilderness; Ere the heavenly vision fade, Jesus, in compassion aid! When I stand on Jordan's brink -- Severed every earthly link; Let my trust on Thee be stayed, Jesus, in compassion aid! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN LISTEN, LORD: A PRAYER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON A PRAYER FOR THE FUTURE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) DIFFERENT WAYS TO PRAY by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE PRAYER DURING A TIME MY SON IS HAVING SEIZURES by SHARON OLDS WE WHO PRAYED AND WEPT by WENDELL BERRY PRAYERS AND SAYINGS OF THE MAD FARMER by WENDELL BERRY A CHRISTMAS PRAYER by THOMAS BROCKHOLST LIVINGSTON |
