AN EVENING HYMN FOR A LITTLE FAMILY, by ANN TAYLOR Poet's Biography First Line: Now condescend, almighty king Last Line: Are both alike to thee. | |||
Now condescend, Almighty King, To bless this little throng; And kindly listen while we sing Our pleasant evening song. We come to own the power Divine That watches o'er our days; For this our feeble voices join In hymns of cheerful praise. Before Thy sacred footstool, see We bend in humble prayer, A happy little family, To ask Thy tender care. May we in safety sleep to-night, From every danger free, Because the darkness and the light Are both alike to Thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ANOTHER PLUM CAKE by ANN TAYLOR BIRDS, BEASTS, AND FISHES by ANN TAYLOR FOR A NAUGHTY LITTLE GIRL by ANN TAYLOR FRANCES KEEPS HER PROMISE by ANN TAYLOR MEDDLESOME MATTY by ANN TAYLOR |
