LORD GOD OF HOSTS, MOST HOLY AND MOST HIGH, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: My love of thee Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): God; Worship | |||
Lord God of Hosts, most Holy and most High, What made Thee tell Thy Name of Love to me? What made Thee live our life? what made Thee die? "My love of thee." I pitched so low. Thou so exceeding high, What was it made Thee stoop to look at me While flawless sons of God stood wondering by? "My love of thee." What is there which can lift me up on high That we may dwell together. Thou with me, When sin and death and suffering are gone by? "My love of thee." O Lord, what is that best thing hid on high Which makes heaven heaven as Thou hast promised me, Yea, makes it Christ to live and gain to die? "My love of thee." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COMPANIONSHIP by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK FOR I WILL CONSIDER YOUR DOG MOLLY by DAVID LEHMAN RUSSIAN CATHEDRAL by CLAUDE MCKAY LITTLE WHITE CHURCH by MARILYN NELSON A STEEPLE ON THE HOUSE by ROBERT FROST MATE (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ANSWER TO PRAYER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON THE TEN COMMANDMENTS by GEORGE SANTAYANA 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 |
