SEND down thy truth, O God! Too long the shadows frown; Too long the darkened way we've trod: Thy truth, O Lord, send down! Send down thy Spirit free, Till wilderness and town One temple for thy worship be: Thy Spirit, oh, send down! Send down thy love, thy life, Our lesser lives to crown, And cleanse them of their hate and strife: Thy living love send down! Send down thy peace, O Lord! Earth's bitter voices drown In one deep ocean of accord: Thy peace, O God, send down! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EVENING TRAINS by MARY TRUE AYER THE GOLDEN AGE by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN URANIA; THE WOMAN IN THE MOON: DEDICATION TO HENRY, PRINCE OF WALES by WILLIAM BASSE THE LAST MAN: EXTREME ACCLIVITY by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES ELEGY WRITTEN IN SPRING by MICHAEL BRUCE |
