O Radiant Luminary of light interminable, Celestial Father, potential God of might, Of heaven and earth O Lord incomparable, Of all perfections the Essential most perfite! O Maker of mankind, that formed day and night, Whose power imperial comprehendeth every place! Mine heart, my mind, my thought, my whole delight Is, after this life, to see thy glorious Face. Whose magnificence is incomprehensible, All arguments of reason which far doth exceed, Whose Deity doubtless is indivisible, From whom all goodness and virtue doth proceed, Of thy support all creatures have need: Assist me, good Lord, and grant me of thy grace To live to thy pleasure in word, thought, and deed, And, after this life, to see thy glorious Face. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ANACTORIA by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE FRED ENGLEHARDT'S BABY by CHARLES FOLLEN ADAMS THE DREAM CALLED LIFE by PEDRO CALDERON DE LA BARCA LAVENDER'S FOR LADIES by PATRICK REGINALD CHALMERS SONG OF SNOW-WHITE HEADS by CHO WEN-CHUN THE AUTHOR'S HERMAPHRODITE by JOHN CLEVELAND OLNEY HYMNS: 67.
