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.

ENABLE ME TO GIVE

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?

WHEN I ASK FOR HELP

I must in consecration askAnd strive to lift my thought aboveThe transient dream;Turn humbly to my Father-Mother LoveWith childlike trust;The moments dedicate anewThat I may know the victory once againOf good, and wakeJoyous and free at last from fear and pain—Thus truth I seek.

DAY OF REJOICING

Father, no weary hour is mine;No sadness cumbers me;Thy loving-kindness gives me strengthAnd joy unceasingly.
