IN Christ I feel the heart of God Throbbing from heaven through earth; Life stirs again within the clod; Renewed in beauteous birth, The soul springs up, a flower of prayer, Breathing His breath out on the air. In Christ I touch the band of God, From His pure height reached down, By blessed ways before untrod, To lift us to our crown; Victory that only perfect is Through loving sacrifice, like His. Holding His hand, my steadied feet May walk the air, the seas; On life and death His smile falls sweet, Lights up all mysteries: Stranger nor exile can I be In new worlds where He leadeth me. Not my Christ only; He is ours; Humanity's close bond; Key to its vast, unopened powers, Dream of our dreams beyond. What yet we shall be none can tell: Now are we His, and all is well. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GOD OF PROGRESS by ALICE GILL BENTON LANGUID SEPTEMBER by ANNE MILLAY BREMER ON TYING DAPHNE'S SHOE by J.
