IF I have failed, my God, to see That Thy great Love was guiding me; If I have missed the open path Of Truth, which e'er Thy sanction hath; If, busy with the passing hour, I noted not Thy glorious Power; And, 'mid the boast and pomp of things, Restrained my spirit on its wings; Then, Father, show me Grace I pray, And lead me toward the righteous way; Then, Lord of Hosts, compassion me, And let Thy Love my shelter be! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD A LITTLE HISTORY by DAVID LEHMAN FOR I WILL CONSIDER YOUR DOG MOLLY by DAVID LEHMAN JEWISH GRAVEYARDS, ITALY by PHILIP LEVINE NATIONAL THOUGHTS by YEHUDA AMICHAI SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 2.
