CHRIST IS ALL, by HORATIO (HORATIUS) BONAR Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: O everlasting light Last Line: Lord jesus, bless us now! Subject(s): Jesus Christ | |||
O Everlasting Light! Giver of dawn and day, Dispeller of the ancient night In which creation lay. O Everlasting Light! Shine graciously within! Brightest of all on earth that's bright, Come, shine away my sin! O Everlasting Rock! Sole refuge in distress, My fort when foes assail and mock, My rest in weariness! O Everlasting Fount! From which the waters burst, The streams of the eternal mount, That quench time's sorest thirst! O Everlasting Health! From which all healing springs; My bliss, my treasure, and my wealth, To Thee my spirit clings! O Everlasting Truth! Truest of all that's true; Sure Guide of erring age and youth, Lead me and teach me too! O Everlasting Strength! Uphold me in the way; Bring me in spite of foes at length To joy, and light, and day! O Everlasting Love! Wellspring of grace and peace, Pour down Thy fullness from above, Bid doubt and trouble cease. O Everlasting Rest! Lift off life's load of care! Relieve, revive this burdened breast, And every sorrow bear. Thou art in heaven our all! Our all on earth art Thou; Upon Thy glorious name we call; Lord Jesus, bless us now! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GREEN CHRIST by ANDREW HUDGINS MEDITATION ON SAVIORS by ROBINSON JEFFERS COMPANIONSHIP by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK TO A WREN ON CALVARY by LARRY LEVIS THE TRANSFIGURATION by EDWIN MUIR SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 1.
