Grant us such grace that we may work Thy Will And speak Thy words and walk before Thy Face, Profound and calm, like waters deep and still: Grant us such grace. Not hastening and not loitering in our pace For gloomiest valley or for sultriest hill. Content and fearless on our downward race. As rivers seek a sea they cannot fill But are themselves filled full in its embrace. Absorbed, at rest, each river and each rill: Grant us such grace. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE UNIVERSITY OF GOTTINGEN by GEORGE CANNING THE WILDERNESS TRANSFORMED by PHILIP DODDRIDGE GERONTION by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT VALENTINES TO MY MOTHER: 1884 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI WHICH WAS MOST TRULY DEAD? by CHARLES AUGUSTIN SAINTE-BEUVE SHEET LIGHTNING by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
