HYMN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT, by MAELISU First Line: O holy spirit, hasten to us! Last Line: Preserve us, thou almighty spirit. | |||
O Holy Spirit, hasten to us! Move round about us, in us, through us! All our deadened souls' desires Inflame anew with heavenly fires. Yea! let each heart become a hostel Of Thy bright Presence Pentecostal, Whose power from pestilence and slaughter Shall shield us still by land and water. From bosom sins, seducing devils, From Hell with all its hundred evils, For Jesus' only sake and merit, Preserve us, Thou Almighty Spirit. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 16 by CONRAD AIKEN SONNET by DAVID HARTLEY COLERIDGE BROTHER JONATHAN'S LAMENT FOR SISTER CAROLINE [DECEMBER 2O, 1860] by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES MESSIAH; A SACRED ECLOGUE IN IMITATION OF VIRGIL'S POLLIO by ALEXANDER POPE THE DESERTED HOUSE by ALFRED TENNYSON MEN OF GENIUS by MATTHEW ARNOLD BABEL: THE GATE OF GOD by GORDON BOTTOMLEY |
