SOMETIMES a vision comes to me Of what Thy world was meant to be; Thy beauty all things shining through, Thy love in all the works we do. I shade my spirit's dazzled sight Before the splendor of that light: Earth crowned with heaven's pure diadem, The Bride, the new Jerusalem! For this alone didst Thou descend, O Son of God, man's glorious Friend, From Thy dear Father's throne of bliss; -- That human life might be as His. Thy Kingdom come, our souls within! Where Thou art, is no room for sin: Oh. show us what our lives may be, Led home to Him, by following Thee! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MERLIN by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON MAHMOUD by JAMES HENRY LEIGH HUNT SATIRE: 1 by AULUS PERSIUS FLACCUS I COME SINGING by JOSEPH AUSLANDER RIDDLE by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ELECTRIC LIGHT-VERSE by L.
