LORD, in mercy pardon me All that I this day have done: Sins of every kind 'gainst Thee, O forgive them, through Thy Son. Make me, Jesus, like to Thee, Gentle, holy, meek, and mild, My transgressions pardon me, O forgive a sinful child. Gracious Spirit, listen Thou, Enter in my willing heart Enter and possess it now, Never, Lord, from me depart. O eternal Three in One, Condescend to bend Thine ear; Help me still towards heaven to run, Answer now my humble prayer. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BIRTH OF VENUS by HAYDEN CARRUTH BUCOLIC COMEDY: EARLY SPRING by EDITH SITWELL ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE: THE POWER OF MUSIC by SAMUEL LISLE IN THIS AGE OF HARD TRYING, NONCHALANCE IS GOOD AND by MARIANNE MOORE HAMPTON BEACH by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER ODES: BOOK 1: ODE 18.
