Poems

O house of God, built on a firm foundation,Standing secure amid the storms of life,Where all may come to learn of true salvationAnd find release from discord, pain, and strife.

THERE IS NO MATTER

The "color is in us," not "in the rose,"The physicist declares.

GOD'S DEAR BEHESTS

Dear God, we comeTo Thee in humble prayer,And leave the sumOf all things in Thy care.

UNFOLDMENT

To understand your Father's wayAnd know yourself as perfect man,Strive now for good.

THE VICTOR

As morning follows darkest nightAnd shadows flee away,So error falls before the dawnOf Love's eternal day;The flowers bloom and fields are ripeWhere desolation lay.

O Thou , the Giver of all good,Enable me to give the gemOf kindness to my neighborhood,As did Thy Son of Bethlehem;So that Thy gifts are understoodThrough me, Thy child, in sharing them.

THOUGHTS

Fresh as the sparkling waterfallWhose silvery streams of lightGleam on the dullness of the cragAnd make the scene more bright,

DIVINE COMFORT

Who told you he was dead?
