Poems by William Cowper
To Mary
... My Mary!But well thou playedst the housewife's part, ...
Love Constrained to Obedience
... "What shall I do," was then the word, ...
The Light and Glory of the Word
... The hand that gave it still supplies ...
Welcome Cross
... Which would else o'erspread the soil: ...
For the Poor
... "Bread shall be given them," as He said, ...
Lovest Thou Me?
... (John, xxi.16)Hark my soul! it is the Lord ...
On The Loss Of The Royal George
... Full charged with England's thunder, ...
Jehovah-Shalom. The Lord Send Peace
... (Judges, vi.25)Jesus! whose blood so freely stream'd ...
Peace after a Storm
... Or harbour one hard thought of Thee!Oh! let me then at length be taught ...
The Task: Book I, The Sofa (excerpts)
... We can spare The splendour of your lamps, they but eclipse ...
Dependence
... 'Tis water makes the willow thrive, ...
Exhortation to Prayer
... Prayer makes the Christian's armour bright ...
Jesus Hasting to Suffer
... He pants to reach the cross!With all His suffering full in view, ...
Looking Upwards in a Storm
... Leave not my trembling heart to fail!Friend of the friendless and the faint, ...
Vanity of the World
... She leads them blindfold by her rules, ...
