Poems (Denver)/Look down from Heaven
LOOK DOWN FROM HEAVEN.
Look down from heaven, O Holy One!
Look down from heaven above,
And change these many tides of life
Into one stream of love!
Look down from heaven above,
And change these many tides of life
Into one stream of love!
Let pure affection, gushing forth
All perfect and all whole,
Pour its refreshing waters out
On every thirsty soul.
All perfect and all whole,
Pour its refreshing waters out
On every thirsty soul.
Look down from heaven, O glorious One!²
With thy benignant eye,
And turn, with Thy Almighty power,
Earth's Marah-fountains dry.
With thy benignant eye,
And turn, with Thy Almighty power,
Earth's Marah-fountains dry.
