Christ Jesus

He walked the earth in holy peace,To sorrow-laden brought release;At his command the raging seaWas calmed in primal harmony.

Patience

Dost thou tread a weary road,Bearing yet a heavy load?

"If thou strayest ..."*

Dark are the clouds that hover o'er my head,Fiercely the angry, stormy winds rush by:The night draws on apace, night filled with dreadOf unknown ill from yon foreboding sky.

Security

No earthly gold or gain can buy security,Or lend assurance to the passing years,Guard from the ills that haunt all mortal seeming,Or bulwark prove against its surging fears.

Sanctuary

I need but look awayFrom darkness, doubt, and fear,And, childlike, turn to God,To find that He is here.
