A HYMN FOR THE NEW AGE, by WILLIAM STEWARD GORDON First Line: O master of the modern day Last Line: Thrill us anew with holy power! Subject(s): Religion; Theology | |||
O Master of the modern day, Our hearts are kindled as we know Thou walkest still along life's way As in the ages long ago! And by the magic of Thy will New worlds Thou art creating still. We thank Thee that the truth moves on With wireless wave and healing ray; That yester's noon was but the dawn Of brighter glories in our day. And now by faith, in holy dream We glimpse tomorrow's grander gleam. We thank Thee that thou rulest still This goodly orb on which we dwell— That Thou dost still reveal Thy will To those who would the dark dispel— That upward o'er the peaks of time Thy plan unfolds in form sublime. Help us to keep Thee as our guest While speeding o'er the highways grand, Or cleave the air at Thy behest To give some soul a helping hand! Thy tireless Spirit leads the way To heal the woes that throng our day! Enlarge our minds to grasp Thy thought, Enlarge our hearts to work Thy plan, Assured Thy purpose faileth not To put Thy spirit into man! God of the present age and hour, Thrill us anew with holy power! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY A HUSTLE FOR THE FAIR by WILLIAM STEWARD GORDON |
