The Master's Teaching

KATHERINE E. VARGA

I went to Jesus to be taught,
And learned of many things;
I'd heard of wonders he had wrought,
His power surpassing kings.

But as he spoke, I was amazed—
He seemed of men most mild,
And said if one would heaven reach,
One must be as a child.
He talked to me of gentleness,
Humility, and trust;
Of tenderness, simplicity,
The longing to be just;
And then he spoke of joyous things,
Of harmony, and bliss,
The rapture sheer in hearts of those
Whom heaven's faith did kiss.

I went from him with lowly heart:
This was the truth he taught.
Yes, he was certain, so he said,
Of these was heaven wrought.
