Lord, grant us eyes to see and ears to hear, And souls to love and minds to understand, And steadfast faces toward the Holy Land, And confidence of hope, and filial fear, And citizenship where Thy saints appear Before Thee heart in heart and hand in hand, And Alleluias where their chanting band As waters and as thunders fill the sphere. Lord, grant us what Thou wilt, and what Thou wilt Deny, and fold us in Thy peaceful fold: Not as the world gives, give to us Thine own: Inbuild us where Jerusalem is built With walls of jasper and with streets of gold, And Thou Thyself, Lord Christ, for Corner Stone. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE COTTON BOLL by HENRY TIMROD AT THE VILLAGE DEPOT by ELIZABETH WILCOX BEASLEY THE JUDGMENT OF PARIS by JAMES BEATTIE REASONABLE MELANCHOLY by JOSEPH BEAUMONT VOLATUS TRIUMPHANS by LUCIUS MORRIS BEEBE DUNCTON HILL by HILAIRE BELLOC THE PEACE OF COLLEGE by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE |
