IF I have failed, my God, to see That Thy great Love was guiding me; If I have missed the open path Of Truth, which e'er Thy sanction hath; If, busy with the passing hour, I noted not Thy glorious Power; And, 'mid the boast and pomp of things, Restrained my spirit on its wings; Then, Father, show me Grace I pray, And lead me toward the righteous way; Then, Lord of Hosts, compassion me, And let Thy Love my shelter be! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOUNTAIN by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE POET SPEAKS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON MATER AMABILIS by EMMA LAZARUS THE BOOK OF STONES AND LILIES by AMY LOWELL THE CRESCENT MOON by AMY LOWELL A MAN CHILD IS BORN (1809) by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
