THE PRINCE OF PEACE, by EDWARD HENRY BICKERSTETH First Line: Hark, hark! The advent cry again Last Line: And perfect peace! Subject(s): Jesus Christ | ||||||||
Hark, hark! the advent cry again: The angels sing His birth, "Glory to God, good will to men, And peace on earth." He comes; and eager listeners throng The lowly path He trod: For peace is ever on His tongue, The peace of God. See, His frail bark the waters fill: Yet why that faithless dread? Before His mighty "Peace, be still," The storm is fled. A weeping sinner dares to touch And bathe his feet with tears: And "Go in peace: thou lovest much," Is all she hears. His hour is come: sad bosoms heave With bodings unexpressed: Peace--grief itself forgets to grieve At His bequest. Oh, never, never, gentle Dove, Let Thy soft pleadings cease, Until we bask in light, and love, And perfect peace! | 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.
