O Master of the modern day, Our hearts are kindled as we know Thou walkest still along life's way As in the ages long ago! And by the magic of Thy will New worlds Thou art creating still. We thank Thee that the truth moves on With wireless wave and healing ray; That yester's noon was but the dawn Of brighter glories in our day. And now by faith, in holy dream We glimpse tomorrow's grander gleam. We thank Thee that thou rulest still This goodly orb on which we dwell— That Thou dost still reveal Thy will To those who would the dark dispel— That upward o'er the peaks of time Thy plan unfolds in form sublime. Help us to keep Thee as our guest While speeding o'er the highways grand, Or cleave the air at Thy behest To give some soul a helping hand! Thy tireless Spirit leads the way To heal the woes that throng our day! Enlarge our minds to grasp Thy thought, Enlarge our hearts to work Thy plan, Assured Thy purpose faileth not To put Thy spirit into man! God of the present age and hour, Thrill us anew with holy power! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RESURRECTION by JONATHAN HENDERSON BROOKS COMIN' THRO' THE RYE by ROBERT BURNS TO SAN FRANCISCO by SAMUEL JOHN ALEXANDER FRAGMENTS INTENDED FOR DEATH'S JEST-BOOK: MOURNER'S CONSOLED by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES SPRING AND WINTER by EDWARD ROBERT BULWER-LYTTON RECOLLECTIONS by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON ON THE CAUSE, CONSQUENCE AND CURE OF SPIRITUAL PRIDE by JOHN BYROM |
