THE STARS WERE BRIGHT

Grace Nixon Stecher
The stars were bright above Judean hillsIn that hushed hour before the dark gave way;And one moved low across the vales and rillsTo mark the place where little Jesus lay.

SECURITY

Hilda M. Wells
Wait patiently and learn the pathThat all must take;Then silently, with footsteps swift,Old ways forsakeAnd see unfoldment clear and pure,The Father's plan complete, secure.

IN MY HOUSE

Helen B. Phelps
Oh, may my words, like gentle rainThat lifts the drooping flower again,Arouse the fainting heart to learnIn confidence to God to turn,Knowing His bounty ever fallsOn him who asks or knocks or calls,And to a hungry wanderer's cryWill never bread of Truth deny.

CHRIST CAME

Margaret Troili Campbell
He came to the Magdalen close to the tomb,Comforting grief;He came to the eleven in the locked room,Quickening faith;He came to sweet Galilee in the bright morn,Pledging his love;He stood by the seaside, among the newbornFishers of men;He gave them commission that they should go forth,Preaching the Word,On seas of the nations and lands of the earth,Christ to be near.
