Simplicity

MATTIE E. SIMPSON
How simple are the ways of love,A smile, a kindly word, a touch;Love speaks through us in simple ways;We do not need to know so much.

LAURA GERAHTY
The world outside, with flare and trumpet calling,I do not hear;The voice of garish life, on closed ears falling,No longer dear,Dies in this solitude;And deepest gratitudeFor God's infinitudeHas vanquished fear.

Humble Desire

RUTH D. SMITH
Dear Lord, if mine be not the voice to sing Thy praiseIn mighty anthem whose reverb'rant toneEchoes throughout the sky, and rises higherWith grand crescendo as it seeks Thy throne,Then let me sing, perhaps at eventide,A song of hope, and send it forth to meetThe heart of one whose weary, wandering feetHave missed the way; who through the long, dark yearsNo song of faith has sung to banish fears.
