KNOWING that the God on high, With a tender Father's grace, Waits to hear your faintest cry, Waits to show a Father's face -- Stay and think! oh, should not you Love this gracious Father too? Knowing Christ was crucified, Knowing that He loves you now Just as much as when He died With the thorns upon His brow -- Stay and think! oh, should not you Love this blessed Saviour too? Knowing that a Spirit strives With your weary, wandering heart, Who would change the restless lives, Pure and perfect peace impart -- Stay and think! oh, should not you Love this loving Spirit too? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD CONSECRATION HYMN by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL I DID THIS FOR THEE!
