A PRAYER, by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL Poet's Biography First Line: Lord, in mercy pardon me Last Line: Answer now my humble prayer. Subject(s): Prayer | |||
LORD, in mercy pardon me All that I this day have done: Sins of every kind 'gainst Thee, O forgive them, through Thy Son. Make me, Jesus, like to Thee, Gentle, holy, meek, and mild, My transgressions pardon me, O forgive a sinful child. Gracious Spirit, listen Thou, Enter in my willing heart Enter and possess it now, Never, Lord, from me depart. O eternal Three in One, Condescend to bend Thine ear; Help me still towards heaven to run, Answer now my humble prayer. | 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 CONSECRATION HYMN by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL I DID THIS FOR THEE!
