DRAW NEAR, O SON OF GOD, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Let every knee to jesus bow.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Draw near, O Son of God, draw near;
Us with Thy flaming eye behold;
Still in Thy Church do Thou appear,
And let our candlestick be gold.

Still hold the stars in Thy right hand,
And let them in Thy lustre glow--
The lights of a benighted land,
The angels of Thy Church below.

Make good their apostolic boast;
Their high commission let them prove;
Be temples of the Holy Ghost,
And fill'd with faith, and hope, and love.

Give them an ear to hear Thy word;
Thou speakest to the churches now:
And let all tongues confess their Lord--
Let every knee to Jesus bow.
