WRITTEN ON THE HEART

Written on the heart with angel's penAre all the sweet assurances we need,Telling us wherever men must walk,Love's light is there, omnipotent, to lead.

DIVINE MIND'S PROVISION

Do not despair if what men call supplySeems low, but look to God alone, to God,The Giver of good! We should never tryTo find the riches of His grace save inThe realm of Mind.

IMMEDIACY

Put off your shoes, your dusty shoes.
Unmoved by drouth or storm cloud,Resting in quietness,Waiting calm and receptiveFor the hand of God to dress,Be as a watered gardenIn a drear and desert place,Quickened by showers of SpiritAnd the sunlight of His grace.

AFTER ITS KIND

Could God express Himself in workHalfway or badly done?

SERVING

Waken , my heart,To see thy brother's need.
