HARK, a joyful voice is thrilling, And each dim and winding way Of the ancient Temple filling; Dreams, depart! for it is day. Christ is coming! -- from thy bed, Earth-bound soul, awake and spring, -- With the sun new-risen to shed Health on human suffering. Lo! to grant a pardon free, Comes a willing Lamb from Heaven; Sad and tearful, hasten we, One and all, to be forgiven. Once again He comes in light, Girding each with fear and woe; Lord! be Thou our loving Might, From our guilt and ghostly foe. To the Father, and the Son, And the Spirit, who in Heaven Ever witness, Three and One, Praise on earth be ever given. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PERSPECTIVE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON EIGHTEEN-DOLLAR TAXI TRIP TO TIZAPAN AND BACK TO CHAPALA by CLARENCE MAJOR ACROSS THE RED SKY by KATHERINE MANSFIELD THE STORM by KATHERINE MANSFIELD SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: COLUMBUS CHENEY by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
