Poet Analysis

First Line: ALMIGHTY GOD, THY HEAV'NLY GRACE IMPART
Last Line: ONE GLORIOUS GOD TRIUNE, FOR EVERMORE.
Subject(s): BIBLE; GOD; PRAYER; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

ALMIGHTY God, thy heav'nly grace impart,
And cast the works of darkness from our heart;
Send us thy light, and arm us for the strife
Against all evils of this mortal life,
O'er which our Saviour, Jesus Christ, thy Son,
With great humility the conquest won:
That when, in glory, our Victorious Head
Shall come, to judge the living and the dead,
We may, thro' Him, to life immortal spring,
Wherein He reigns, the Everlasting King;
The Father, Son, and Spirit may adore,
One glorious God Triune, for evermore.
