Thy Word is Light -- Thy Saving Grace Upon a troubled world outpoured; For its fair guidance in our night, With grateful hearts, we thank Thee, Lord. Thy Word is Truth -- the Truth that burns, And breaks, and binds, and sets men free. Now let Thy Truth sweep through the world And bring its wayward heart to Thee. Thy Word is Life -- abounding Life, That quickens body, mind, and soul, And gives new meaning to our lives, And sets Thy seal upon the whole. Thy word is Promise of the Dawn That shall bring in Thy Glorious Day, When all creation shall rejoice To do Thy Will and own Thy sway. Thy Word is Love -- the Love that was, And is, and evermore shall be; Love, the Beginning; Love, the End; Love, timeless as eternity. For that great Love, unbounded, free, That binds us with a golden cord To one another and to Thee, We thank Thee, thank Thee, thank Thee, Lord! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE DESERTED GARDEN by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING WRITTEN ON A WALL AT WOODSTOCK by ELIZABETH I IT'S A QUEER TIME by ROBERT RANKE GRAVES HIS RETURN TO LONDON by ROBERT HERRICK UPON THE SAYING THAT MY VERSES WERE MADE BY ANOTHER by ANNE KILLIGREW TOMORROW by FELIX LOPE DE VEGA CARPIO MADONNA OF THE EVENING FLOWERS by AMY LOWELL |
