I BLESS Thee, Father, for the grace Thou me this day hast given, Strengthening my soul to seek Thy face, And list the theme of heaven. I bless Thee that each work-day care Thy love hath lull'd to rest, And every thought whose wing has prayer Thine answering word hath blest. I bless Thee, Father! Those dark fears That linger'd round my heart, That called for murmurs, doubts and tears, Thy mercy bade depart. O Thou alone couldst send them hence On this blessed day of peace, And with Thy spirit's pure incense Bid work-day turmoil cease. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DAT GAL O' MINE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON SUNDAY: NEW GUINEA by KARL SHAPIRO SABBATHS: 2001 by WENDELL BERRY SUNDAYSUNDAYSUNDAYSUNDAYSUNDAY by PAUL BLACKBURN THE SABBATH OF THE SOUL by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD SONG OF THE SPANISH JEWS by GRACE AGUILAR THE SABBATH LAMP by GRACE AGUILAR I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A REAL HARD TIME BEFORE' by HAYDEN CARRUTH |
