I BELIEVE in Thee! Father eternal, Maker supernal Of all that is, and that was, and is yet to be, The passing, and the enduring infinitely, And Love's Begetter from all eternity. Maker and Father of all, Maker and Father of me, My God, I believe in Thee. I believe in Thee! Supremest Lover Who didst discover The one sole way to vanquish the great-waved sea Rolling 'twixt God and man unebbingly, Till, smit by Thy lifted cross, it turned to flee. Lover, Redeemer of all, Lover, Redeemer of me, My God, I believe in Thee. I believe in Thee! Life's Lord, Life's Giver, For aye and ever Source and Fountain of boundless sanctity, Pouring high sapience and wisdom royally Down on Thy suppliant people, the blest, the free. Thou who art fain to hallow all men, oh, hallow me, My God, I believe in Thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RECOLLECTIONS OF LOVE by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE IN THE MILE END ROAD by AMY LEVY ON THE DEATH OF THE REV.
