Jesus, Sun and Shield art Thou; Sun and shield forever! Never canst Thou cease to shine, Cease to guard us never. Cheer our steps as on we go, Come between us and the foe. Jesus, Bread and Wine art Thou, Wine and bread forever! Never canst Thou cease to feed Or refresh us, never. Feed we still on bread divine, Drink we still this heavenly wine! Jesus, Love and Life art Thou, Life and love forever! Ne'er to quicken shalt Thou cease, Or to love us never. All of life and love we need Is in Thee, in Thee indeed. Jesus, Peace and Joy art Thou, Joy and peace forever! Joy that fades not, changes not, Peace that leaves us never. Joy and peace we have in Thee, Now and through eternity. Jesus, Song and Strength art Thou, Strength and song forever! Strength that never can decay, Song that ceaseth never. Still to us this strength and song Through eternal days prolong. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FROM THE WOOLWORTH TOWER by SARA TEASDALE A DEATH SCENE by EMILY JANE BRONTE ITYLUS by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE SONG: 3 by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD TO THE LADY PENELOPE RITCH by RICHARD BARNFIELD IN THE HILLS by CHARLES BADGER CLARK JR. |
