Explore "Renewal of Strength" by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The prison-house in which I live / Is falling to decay, / But God renews my spirit's strength, / Within these walls of clay.
For me a dimness slowly creeps / Around earth's fairest light, / But heaven grows clearer to my view, / And fairer to my sight.
It may be earth's sweet harmonies / Are duller to my ear, / But music from my Father's house / Begins to float more near.
Then let the pillars of my home / Crumble and fall away; / Lo, God's dear love within my soul / Renews it day by day.
