THE Lord of Might, from Sinai's brow, Gave forth His voice of thunder; And Israel lay on earth below, Outstretch'd in fear and wonder. Beneath His feet was pitchy night, And at His left hand and His right, The rocks were rent asunder! The Lord of Love, on Calvary, A meek and suffering stranger, Upraised to Heaven His languid eye, In nature's hour of danger. For us He bore the weight of woe, For us He gave His blood to flow, And met His Father's anger. The Lord of Love, the Lord of Might, The King of all created, Shall back return to claim His right, On clouds of glory seated; With trumpet-sound and angel-song, And hallelujahs loud and long O'er death and hell defeated! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BIRDS by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS A GRAMMARIAN'S FUNERAL by ROBERT BROWNING MAPLE AND SUMACH by CECIL DAY LEWIS ALONE (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ODE TO BEAUTY by RALPH WALDO EMERSON BURNHAM-BEECHES by HENRY LUTTRELL THE SON; SOUTHERN OHIO MARKET TOWN by FREDERICK RIDGELY TORRENCE |
