MY BRETHREN

A clear sense of omnipotence—Be this my constant prayer,That when I would my friends compareAnd judge them less than goodMy love for God and man I findWill quickly bring me back to MindAnd I shall see as Peter saw:No man as common or unclean.

PITCH YOUR HOPE HIGH

Pitch your hope high;Claim heaven itself to base it on.

ONE NATION

A mountain viewreveals a living map.

THE MOUNT

The higher he climbed, the more alonethe Son of man whose thoughts his own.

EXPANSION

God opened up to me a heaven so fair,That but to stay therein was all my prayer;Till, as His love still drew me gently on.

THOUGHT-BLENDING

When thought meets thoughtAnd finds a welcome there,Then heart rejoicesIn that blending, rareAs when hands claspIn gesture warm and kind.

LOVE CARES FOR YOU

Father , not for myself alone I pray.
