O LORD Almighty Who hast formed us weak, With us whom Thou hast formed deal fatherly; Be found of us whom Thou hast deigned to seek, Be found that we the more may seek for Thee; Lord, speak and grant us ears to hear Thee speak; Lord, come to us and grant us eyes to see; Lord, make us meek, for Thou Thyself art meek; Lord, Thou art Love, fill us with charity. O Thou the Life of living and of dead, Who givest more the more Thyself hast given, Suffice us as Thy saints Thou hast sufficed; That beautified, replenished, comforted, Still gazing off from earth and up at heaven, We may pursue Thy steps, Lord Jesus Christ. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PROMISES LIKE A PIE-CRUST by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HIGH-PRIEST TO ALEXANDER by ALFRED TENNYSON JOHN CHARLES FREMONT by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER THE SHOEMAKERS by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER DANAIDES: THE MARRIAGE OF HEAVEN AND EARTH by AESCHYLUS PSALM 148 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE A CHAUNT IN PRAISE by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT THE CRY by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN THE SHEPHERD'S PIPE: SIXTH ECLOGUE by WILLIAM BROWNE (1591-1643) |
