LORD, GRANT US GRACE TO REST UPON THY WORD, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: Lord, grant us grace Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Prayer; Rest | ||||||||
Lord, grant us grace to rest upon Thy word, To rest in hope until we see Thy Face; To rest thro' toil unruffled and unstirred, Lord, grant us grace. This burden and this heat wear on apace: Night comes, when sweeter than night's singing bird Will swell the silence of our ended race. Ah, songs which flesh and blood have never heard And cannot hear, songs of the silent place Where rest remains! Lord, slake our hope deferred, Lord, grant us grace. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DE LITTLE PICKANINNY'S GONE TO SLEEP by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON MOTHER NIGHT by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON BOY'S SLEEP by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE HOW FAR IS IT TO THE LAND WE LEFT? by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE IT'S NOT COLD HERE by ELEANOR WILNER SUPPLICATION by JOSEPH SEAMON COTTER JR.
