SOVEREIGN of Heaven, Who didst prevail O'er death, and with Thy life-blood dye The path by which we hope to scale Yon starry sky: Look down in mercy from Thy throne At God's right hand, O Lord, and see Us who are lingering here alone, Orphaned of Thee. Hear us, O Christ, for we were born Out of the travail of Thy soul; When by the spear Thy side was torn To make us whole. Thy toils and anguish at an end, Thou wearest now a glorious crown: The hour is come; send, Saviour, send Thy Spirit down. O Jesu, glory be to Thee, To God's right hand Who didst ascend: Glory to God, the One and Three World without end. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE OLD MEN by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS SEVEN TIMES SIX [ - GIVING IN MARRIAGE] by JEAN INGELOW THE FLOWERS OF THE FOREST by ALISON RUTHERFORD WAR DEAD by PATRICK JOHN MCALISTER ANDERSON THE LAST DEMAND by FAITH BALDWIN IN VINCULIS; SONNETS WRITTEN IN AN IRISH PRISON: THE TWO VOICES by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT |
