BLESS, DEAR SAVIOUR, THIS CHILD, by THOMAS BECK First Line: Jesus, we lift our souls to thee Last Line: A follower of thine. Subject(s): Jesus Christ | |||
Jesus, we lift our souls to Thee, Thy Holy Spirit breathe, And let this little infant be Baptized into Thy death. O let Thine unction on him rest, Thy grace his soul renew, And write within his tender breast Thy name and nature too. If Thou shouldst quickly end his days, His place with Thee prepare; And if Thou lengthen out his race, Continue still Thy care. Thy faithful servant let him prove, Begirt with truth divine; A sharer in Thy dying love, A follower of thine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GREEN CHRIST by ANDREW HUDGINS MEDITATION ON SAVIORS by ROBINSON JEFFERS COMPANIONSHIP by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK TO A WREN ON CALVARY by LARRY LEVIS THE TRANSFIGURATION by EDWIN MUIR SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 1.
