Pages of Gold

In Life's treasured bookWith its pages of gold.

Now

In well-wrought mask and wrapped in gay disguise,A fugitive from yesterday's dark cares.

From Church

The demand for church

I like to think of each church that grows up in a community as that community's answered prayer for the presence of the saving Christ—the message of God's love for humanity.

Security

Rock, rescue, refuge!What though kingdoms fall and man's high destinyBe mocked of men—The rock of my salvation is the Lord,And age-abiding is His holy Word.

Truth Is Simple

A sparrow  on the housetop,A lily in the field,A merchant seeking goodly pearls,A treasure long concealed,Such were the symbols Jesus usedFor those he taught and healed.

Remember

Remember, in the blare of all earth's war and strife,God never reads the fiction of this mortal life.

"Fear none of these things"

Through these confused,Troubled timesA light appears,A gentle piercing light.

Peace

Earth's tumult and its storms recede,And in their place are heardThe accents of the "still small voice"—The omnipresent Word.

Freedom

John and Peter in the prison pent,And Paul with sting of viper, knewThere was for them no real imprisonment,No power apart from God.

Perfect Being

God, the Principle of being,Mind, the all-inclusive All,Has no consciousness of evil,Is not fettered by its thrall.

Son of God

He is not yours—that boy you callYour son;His only parent—God.

The Secret Place

Who can invadeThe secret place of the Most High?

The Ever-present Christ

When Jesus stood with others at his sideWhere Lazarus was laid,And while they sorrowed that his friend had died,Jesus, the Master, prayed,"Father, I thank thee," ever confidentLife's victory is sealed;The truth was proved, the veil of death was rent,Man's heritage revealed.
