TO Thee we give ourselves today, Forgetful of the world outside; We tarry in Thy House, O Lord, From eventide to eventide. From Thy all-seeing, righteous eye Our deepest heart can nothing hide; It crieth up to Thee for peace From eventide to eventide. Who could endure, should'st Thou, O Lord, As we deserve, forever chide? We therefore seek Thy pardoning grace From eventide to eventide. O may we lay to heart how swift The years of life do onward glide; So learn to live that we may see Thy light at our life's eventide. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CHAMBER MUSIC: 34 by JAMES JOYCE VILLA PAULINE by KATHERINE MANSFIELD CONTRA MORTEM: THE BEING AS MEMORY by HAYDEN CARRUTH A TIME TO DANCE by CECIL DAY LEWIS JOHNNY APPLESEED by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: JUDGE SELAH LIVELY by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
