Saviour of mankind, Man! Emmanuel! Who, sinless, died for sin; who vanquished hell; The first fruits of the grave; whose life did give Light to our darkness; in whose death we live; Oh, strengthen Thou my faith, correct my will, So that the latter death may not devour My soul sealed with Thy seal. So in the hour When Thou, whose body sanctified this tomb, Unjustly judged, a glorious Judge shall come To judge the world with justice, by that sign I may be known, and entertained for Thine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WISDOM COMETH WITH THE YEARS by COUNTEE CULLEN TO J.
