LORD, SAVE US, WE PERISH by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: O LORD, SEEK US, O LORD, FIND US
Last Line: ROUND US, EVERYWHERE.
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
O LORD, seek us, O Lord, find us
In Thy patient care;
Be Thy Love before, behind us,
Round us, everywhere:
Lest the god of this world blind us,
Lest he speak us fair,
Lest he forge a chain to bind us,
Lest he bait a snare.
Turn not from us, call to mind us,
Find, embrace us, bear;
Be Thy Love before, behind us,
Round us, everywhere.
