IS this that Name as ointment poured forth For which the virgins love Thee -- King of kings And Lord of lords? All Seraphs clad in wings; All Cherubs and all Wheels which south and north, Which east and west turn not in going forth; All many-semblanced ordered Spirits, as rings Of rainbow in unwonted fashionings, Might answer, Yes. But we from south and north, From east and west, a feeble folk who came By desert ways in quest of land unseen, A promised land of pasture ever green And ever springing ever singing wave, Know best Thy Name of Jesus: Blessed Name, Man's life and resurrection from the grave. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MENDOCINO MEMORY by EDWIN MARKHAM BY THE STATUE OF KING CHARLES AT CHARING CROSS by LIONEL PIGOT JOHNSON BROOKLYN BRIDGE by CHARLES GEORGE DOUGLAS ROBERTS CORRYMEELA by NESTA HIGGINSON SKRINE SONNETS OF MANHOOD: SONNET 24.
