HYMN, by JOANNA BAILLIE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Up! Sluggard soul! Awake and raise Last Line: Hosanna in the highest! Subject(s): Jesus Christ; Worship | |||
Up! sluggard soul! awake and raise To thy blest Lord a song of praise, Who lifts thee from the gloomy grave When low on earth thou liest, -- To Him who lived and died to save, Hosanna in the highest! To Him, thy friend of friends, whose love Invites thee to a home above, When thou, the world's poor outcast slave, In grief and anguish criest, -- To Him who lived and died to save, Hosanna in the highest! His love a living stream hath found For pilgrims faint on barren ground, Their parched and languid souls to lave, When earthly streams are driest, -- To Him who lived and died to save, Hosanna in the highest! | 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 A MOTHER TO HER WAKING INFANT by JOANNA BAILLIE |
