ANGELS OF THOUGHT

Angels of thought in their heavenward flight
Bore on their pinions this prayer one night,
Woven with love in the silent loom,
Fragrant with faith through the seeming gloom:
I thank Thee, Lord, for knowing,
For courage to declare,
Thought all to sense is darkness,
The light of Truth is there.

Angels of thought, as the weeks go by,
Strengthen their wings as they sweep the sky,
Over the mountain of mortal fears,
Till through the shadow the light appears;
I thank Thee, Lord, for patience,
That trusted all to Thee,
For now by demonstration
The Christ, Truth, comes to me.

Angels of thought on their glad wings bear
Tenderly upward a silent prayer,
Walking a dreamer from pain and sin,
Letting the glory of God shine in:
I thank Thee, Lord, 'tis given
To me the truth to know;
O let me be the channel
Through which Thy blessings flow!
