GRANT US SUCH GRACE THAT WE MAY WORK THY WILL, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: Grant us such grace Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Prayer | |||
Grant us such grace that we may work Thy Will And speak Thy words and walk before Thy Face, Profound and calm, like waters deep and still: Grant us such grace. Not hastening and not loitering in our pace For gloomiest valley or for sultriest hill. Content and fearless on our downward race. As rivers seek a sea they cannot fill But are themselves filled full in its embrace. Absorbed, at rest, each river and each rill: Grant us such grace. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN LISTEN, LORD: A PRAYER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON A PRAYER FOR THE FUTURE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) DIFFERENT WAYS TO PRAY by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE PRAYER DURING A TIME MY SON IS HAVING SEIZURES by SHARON OLDS WE WHO PRAYED AND WEPT by WENDELL BERRY PRAYERS AND SAYINGS OF THE MAD FARMER by WENDELL BERRY IT IS FINISHED' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
