And now with strengthening mercy fed, Thou creative Christ! Not all Thy meat nor all Thy bread Has happily suifficed. Transported by Thy graciousness. That Thou will dwell in me. My wakened powers boldly press, Henceforth to dwell in Thee! For Thou art more than I can know Within my narrow bound. And I to Thy far heights would go. Thy deepest depths would sound. With kindling eye and fervent heart 1 leave my little home. In all Thy deeds to have a part. On all Thy ways to roam. Out on the largeness of Thy mind My daring thoughts expand; In Thy wide reaches unconfined I compass sea and land. I do not faint, I do not fear, On tireless wings I glide. And height is home, and far is near, When I with Thee abide! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LENNIE SWENSON by KAREN SWENSON THE HOUSE OF LIFE: 101.
