lirik lagu richard mitchley - james russell lowell - a contrast
Loading...
thy love thou sendest oft to me
and still as oft i thrust it back;
thy messengers i could not see
in those who everything did lack
the poor, the outcast and the black
pride held his hand before mine eyes
the world with flattery stuffed mine ears;
i looked to see a monarch’s guise
nor dreamed thy love would knock for years
poor, naked, fettered, full of tears
yet, when i sent my love to thee
thou with a smile didst take it in
and entertain’dst it royally
though grimed with earth, with hunger thin
and leprous with the taint of sin
now every day thy love i meet
as o’er the earth it wanders wide
with weary step and bleeding feet
still knocking at the heart of pride
and offering grace, though still denied
