THE PRAYER MEETING, by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS Poet's Biography First Line: We meet - one another, and friendship expands Last Line: We shall meet in the meeting that never adjourns. Subject(s): Prayer Meetings | ||||||||
We meet -- one another, and friendship expands As eye catches eye, and as hands welcome hands. The touch of good fellowship thrills to the soul, And each is inspired by the zeal of the whole. We meet -- the dear Saviour, unseen and unheard; We leap to the vision, we feed on the word; His presence, so loving, so wise, and so strong, Is felt in each moment of prayer or of song. We meet -- our ideals; exulting we see The grace that our living might blessedly be. We burn with the joy of that promised delight, And spring to achieve it in heaven-born might. So meeting, we practise the life of true men; So parting, we part but to gather again; Till soon -- how the spirit awaits it and yearns! -- We shall meet in the meeting that never adjourns. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HYMN TO FIRE by KONSTANTIN DMITRIYEVICH BALMONT GOSPEL BANJO: HOMAGE TO LITTLE ROY LEWIS by DAVID BOTTOMS THE TRYST by VALERY YAKOVLEVICH BRYUSOV AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO EARNEST AND IMPORTUNATE PRAYER by JOHN BYROM A PRAYER OF THE PEOPLES by PERCY MACKAYE THE OLD CHURCH ON THE HILL by EDWARD NOYES POMEROY THE BETTER LIFE by MARGARET ELIZABETH MUNSON SANGSTER THE WORD SHE REMEMBERED by MARGARET ELIZABETH MUNSON SANGSTER A BATTLE SONG (WRITTEN IN THE WORLD WAR) by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS |
