TO THEE, by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL Poet's Biography First Line: I bring my sins to thee Last Line: To thee, my saviour and my king! Subject(s): Jesus Christ | ||||||||
I BRING my sins to Thee, The sins I cannot count, That all may cleansed be In Thy once opened Fount. I bring them, Saviour, all to Thee, The burden is too great for me. My heart to Thee I bring, The heart I cannot read; A faithless, wandering thing, An evil heart indeed. I bring it, Saviour, now to Thee, That fixed and faithful it may be. To Thee I bring my care, The care I cannot fiee; Thou wilt not only share, But bear it all for me. O loving Saviour, now to Thee I bring the load that wearies me. I bring my grief to Thee, The grief I cannot tell; No words shall needed be, Thou knowest all so well. I bring the sorrow laid on me, O suffering Saviour, now to Thee. My joys to thee I bring, The joys Thy love hath given, That each may be a wing To lift me nearer heaven. I bring them, Saviour, all to Thee, For Thou hast purchased all for me. My life I bring to Thee, I would not be my own; O Saviour, let me be Thine ever, Thine alone. My heart, my life, my all I bring To Thee, my Saviour and my King! | 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.
