GRANT US SUCH GRACE THAT WE MAY WORK THY WILL, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Grant us such grace
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Prayer


Grant us such grace that we may work Thy Will
And speak Thy words and walk before Thy Face,
Profound and calm, like waters deep and still:
Grant us such grace.

Not hastening and not loitering in our pace
For gloomiest valley or for sultriest hill.
Content and fearless on our downward race.

As rivers seek a sea they cannot fill
But are themselves filled full in its embrace.
Absorbed, at rest, each river and each rill:
Grant us such grace.
