SIT down beneath His shadow, And rest with great delight; The faith that now beholds Him Is pledge of future sight. Our Master's love remember, Exceeding great and free; Lift up thy heart in gladness, For He remembers thee. Bring every weary burden, Thy sin, thy fear, thy grief; He calls the heavy laden, And gives them kind relief. His righteousness "all glorious" Thy festal robe shall be; And love that passeth knowledge His banner over thee. A little while, though parted, Remember, wait, and love, Until He comes in glory, Until we meet above. Till in the Father's kingdom The heavenly feast is spread, And we behold His beauty, Whose blood for us was shed! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINES TO ROBERT ALDERSON UPON HIS DEPARTURE FROM WARRINGTON by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD THE TWO POETS OF CROISIC by ROBERT BROWNING TO MISS JANE AUSTEN by GEORGE HERBERT CLARKE TO GRAVINA, ON HIS TRANSLATING THE AUTHOR'S SONG by WILLIAM COWPER ANOMALY by CONSTANCE WALTHER CROSSEN |
