THROUGH visions of the night and toils of day, Let no temptation's power my purpose, sway: But grant, dear Lord, Thy love's unchanging might, To keep my trembling faith and honor bright. Be hand and heart alert to do Thy will, Not with impatient haste, but calm and still; Thus when the long day's work for Thee is done, My waiting soul shall dread no setting sun. At last when softly fall the shadows deep, And sinks th' o'er weary brain to quiet sleep, From every anxious care and burden free, Le me forevermore abide with Thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FINALITY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE DAY AND THE WORK by EDWIN MARKHAM DOMESDAY BOOK: HENRY BAKER, AT NEW YORK by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: MRS.
