Understanding God

LAURA REBECCA LONSDALE

No brighter thought sheds beacon gleams to cheer
Each pilgrim journeying through earth's drear,
Than this—that God is Light.

No better thought does courage, strength, and health confer
To rend the mortal veil, to faith and hope bestir,
Than this—that God is Life.

No sweeter thought, in purest, rapt embrace enfolds,
While tender whispers of the Christ-idea are told,
Than this—that God is Love.

No truer thought uplifts desire on pinions glittering bright,
To see the vision, perfect, radiant, white,
Than this—that God is Truth.

No holier thought pronounces benediction, far and near,
As swells its anthem, Peace on earth, good will is here,
Than this—that God is All.

We'd love to hear from you!
