COME NOT IN TREPIDATION

Anne Mackintosh Hairs

Come not in trepidation,
But humbly, quietly,
Seeking Love's benediction,
The truth that maketh free.
Consider thou the lilies,
The birds that sing on high;
Join with the happy travelers
Who, marching forward, cry
Praise to the eternal
Giver of life and love,
And in thy heart shall nestle
Peace, gentle as a dove;
For Love, the Father-Mother,
Awaiteth but to bless.
Seek thou the true at-one-ment,
The perfect joyousness.

Love waits to give thee solace.
Lift up thy voice and sing;
Join with the happy travelers
Hailing the Christ, Truth, king.

Anne Mackintosh Hairs
