As
we labor daily in the world, how helpful it is to realize that in fact all that is pure and true is of Mind, God; that God has created all things real forever, and that man is at rest in His creation! Every day, if we choose to see it, is a sabbath, blessed and hallowed by the Lord.
Like
a medieval fugitive from wrong,Who fled before his wicked enemyAnd found the church a sanctuary strong,Wherein to claim impregnability,So in this structure pure of Truth and LoveWe find our refuge from pursuing foes,A sanctuary safe, and high aboveThe fear and doubt and pain that would imposeTheir tyrant rule upon us.

I awake
from dreams of sense,Wake with dawning in my eyes,As in thought the vision breaks—Man is never one who dies,Compassed in a meager span,But a living, changeless ray,Perfect, born of Spirit's will,Shining in eternal day.
