"I AM with thee!" He hath said it In His truth and tender grace; Sealed the promise, grandly spoken, With how many a mighty token, Of His love and faithfulness. He is with thee! -- In thy dwelling, Shielding thee from fear of ill; All thy burdens kindly bearing, For thy dear ones gently caring, Guarding, keeping, blessing still. He is with thee! -- In thy service He is with thee "certainly," Filling with the Spirit's power, Giving in the needing hour His own messages by thee. He is with thee! -- With thy spirit, With thy lips, or with thy pen; In the quiet preparation, In the heart-bowed congregation, Nevermore alone again! He is with thee! -- With thee always, All the nights and all the days; Never failing, never frowning, With His loving-kindness crowning, Tuning all thy life to praise. He is with thee! -- Thine own Master, Leading, loving to the end; Brightening joy and lightening sorrow, All to-day, yet more to-morrow, King and Saviour, Lord and Friend. He is with thee! -- Yes, forever, Now, and through eternity; Then with Him forever dwelling, Thou shalt share His joys excelling, Thou with Christ, and Christ with thee! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HAIL COLUMBIA by JOSEPH HOPKINSON THE HARLEM DANCER by CLAUDE MCKAY CUMNOR HALL by WILLIAM JULIUS MICKLE RETURN by KENNETH SLADE ALLING PSALM 148 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE CLASS POEM by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE THE LOVE THAT PURIFIED by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE |
