Here you will find the Poem Jesus, Lord Of Heaven Above of poet Anna Laetitia Waring
Jesus, Lord of Heaven above, Earth beneath is all Thy own In the depths of Heavenly love Let my human heart be sown. Let my love that as a grain None on earth might care to see, Buried in Thy grave remain, Be a precious seed to Thee. Thou wilt raise it, though it die, Thou wilt see it hidden there ? Thou wilt guard it with Thine eye From the spirits of the air. None shall take it thence away; It is sown for Thy delight: Thou wilt shine on it by day, ? Thou wilt shield it in the night. Where the silent waters flow, It shall multiply its root; It shall blossom, it shall grow, It shall bear immortal fruit. Sown in weakness, raised in power ? Sown in suffering, raised in peace ? It shall brave the blighting hour, In the year of drought increase. Never hurt by sun or storm, Blest its every stage shall be; Dying in its mortal form ? Living evermore in Thee.
