KNOWING GOD ARIGHT

There was a time each day was streaked with night;Fruitless toil and shattered hopes my plight.

PRAYER

Dear Father-Mother Love divine,I pray to know Thy love, to seeThe bruisèd ones, the bonded ones,The broken ones of earth made free.

WHEN WE PRAY

Thank You, God, for the gift of prayerTo meet each daily task.

TRUE FELLOWSHIP

True understanding gives us newborn sightCleansing our thought of what we think we seeIn those we mingle with from day to day,And most in those to whom our hearts are drawn;Helps us to see our brother, as did Jacob,Doubtful of Esau's motive, when he prayedTo God for help, and, reaping his reward,Said to his brother.

MY CONFIDENCE

I cannot fear nor disobeyOur Master's wise commandTo heal the sick and sinningAnd preach throughout the land.

EVERY VALLEY EXALTED

Prepare a highway through the wilderness:Cast out the thorns, the rocks of stubborn will,And bridge with faith the deep and darkening shadows.
