PRAYER, by FANNIE H. GOSLIN First Line: Dear god, please walk beside me Last Line: Thy guidance and blessing I seek. Subject(s): Fortitude; Prayer | ||||||||
Dear God, please walk beside me Through this shadow of despair; Take my hand and guide me, Teach me well to bear With greater ease, the sorrow That saddens now my days. Grant me strength to meet tomorrow With fortitude and grace. For Thine is the glorious power To solace and hearten the weak; Comfort and strengthen the coward; Thy guidance and blessing I seek. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN LISTEN, LORD: A PRAYER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON A PRAYER FOR THE FUTURE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) DIFFERENT WAYS TO PRAY by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE PRAYER DURING A TIME MY SON IS HAVING SEIZURES by SHARON OLDS WE WHO PRAYED AND WEPT by WENDELL BERRY PRAYERS AND SAYINGS OF THE MAD FARMER by WENDELL BERRY A VOICE FROM THE SWEAT-SHOPS (A HYMN WITH RESPONSES) by LOUIS UNTERMEYER LAST LINES OF THOMAS INGOLDSBY by RICHARD HARRIS BARHAM THE PRISONER OF CHILLON: INTRODUCTORY SONNET by GEORGE GORDON BYRON |
