O Jesus! at Thy feet we wait, Till Thou shalt bid us rise; Restored to our unsinning state-- To love's sweet paradise. Saviour from sin, we Thee receive; From all indwelling sin Thy blood, we steadfastly believe, Shall make us throughly clean. Since Thou wouldst have us free from sin, And pure as those above; Make haste to bring Thy nature in, And perfect us in love. The counsel of Thy love fulfill; Come quickly, gracious Lord! Be it according to Thy will, According to Thy word. O that the perfect grace were given, Thy love diffused abroad: O that our hearts were all a heaven, Forever fill'd with God. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COUNT THAT DAY LOST by MARY ANN EVANS SONNET by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI THE SINGER IN THE PRISON by WALT WHITMAN TO THE DEAD FAVOURITE OF LIU CH'E by DJUNA BARNES A SONNET TO YOU! by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE A MAN'S DEBT by FRED EMERSON BROOKS |
