O that I could my Lord receive, Who died the world to redeem; Who gave His life that I might live A life conceal'd in Him. O that I could the blessing prove-- My heart's extreme desire; Live happy in my Saviour's love, And in His arms expire. Mercy I ask to seal my peace, That, kept by mercy's power, I may from every evil cease, And never grieve Thee more. Now, if Thy gracious will it be, E'en now my sins remove, And set my soul at liberty By Thy victorious love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...KILLED IN ACTION by ISAAC ROSENBERG TO MARK ANTHONY IN HEAVEN by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS THE LIGHT'OOD FIRE by JOHN HENRY BONER ON SEEING AN OFFICER'S WIDOW DISTRACTED - ARREARS OF PENSION by MARY BARBER ISAIAH: PERFECT PEACE by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE |
