REIGNED the universe's Master, ere were earthly things begun; When his mandate all created Ruler was the name He won; And alone He'll rule tremendous when all things are past and gone. He no equal has, nor consort, He, the singular and lone, Has no end and no beginning; His the sceptre, might, and throne, He's my God and living Saviour, rock to whom in need I run; He's my banner and my refuge, fount of weal when called upon; In His hand I place my spirit, at night-fall and rise of sun, And therewith my body also; God's my God—I fear no one. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WINDHOVER: TO CHRIST OUR LORD by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS TO ONE WHO ASKED by KENNETH SLADE ALLING MEN OF VERDUN by LAURENCE BINYON VILLAGE GREEN by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN ADON OLAM by GEORGE HENRY BORROW CREATIVE URGE by EMMA BRADFIELD |
