Religion

Christmas Prayer

by George MacDonald 1824–1905

From The poetical works of George MacDonald in two volumes — Volume 1

Religion

Cold my heart, and poor, and low,
Like thy stable in the rock;
Do not let it orphan go,
It is of thy parent stock!
Come thou in, and it will grow
High and wide, a fane divine;
Like the ruby it will glow,
Like the diamond shine!
