O Still Small Voice!

REUBEN POGSON

O still small voice that came in stillness of the Horeb height,That hushed to silence earthquake, wind, and flame,Come whisper now, that we forget the hour of shameful flight,When evil menaced him who loved Thy name!
Poem

Close to Thee, O God

IVA B. LINEBARGER

O, May I walk so close to Thee, from hour to hour,That ever on my upward way,When doubts or fears my path assail,When evil claims my footsteps fail,I then may have the grace to say:I walk with God, and know there is no other power!

My Place

RUTH MARIE DILLON

Could we but touch with true humilityHis garment's hem, that simple touch would bringA glad renewal of life, renewal of joy:Earth-trammeled thoughts would soar on bolder wing.

Two Visitors
