A MORNING HYMN, by CHARLES WESLEY Recitation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Christ, whose glory fills the skies Last Line: Shining to the perfect day. Subject(s): Day; Hymns (as Literary Form); Light; Morning; Sun | |||
CHRIST, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true, the only light, Sun of righteousness, arise, Triumph o'er the shades of night: Day-spring from on high, be near: Day-star in my heart appear. Dark and cheerless is the morn Unaccompanied by thee, Joyless is the day's return, Till thy mercy's beams I see; Till they inward light impart, Glad my eyes, and warm my heart. Visit then this soul of mine, Pierce the gloom of sin and grief, Fill me, radiancy divine, Scatter all my unbelief, More and more thyself display, Shining to the perfect day. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN AGAINST EXCESS OF SEA OR SUN OR REASON by WILLIAM MEREDITH WHY I WAKE EARLY by MARY OLIVER CONTRA MORTEM: THE SUN by HAYDEN CARRUTH |
