When I grow quiet, waiting for Love's voice,Contending not against the offending rod,But ever knowing that I can rejoiceIn the omnipotence and peace of God,

No earnest prayer sent forth on wingsOf hope and faith that all may proveCan go unanswered, for it singsOf gratitude and unselfed love.

If we could holdAll that the world calls substanceIn our grasp,We would not have true wealth.

ETERNAL LIFE

Before belief's time-world took form,Or temporal things seemed true,Or solar day brought cloud or storm,Or night obscured Life's view,Or error's serpentine deceitClaimed mortal life began,God saw His universe completeIn perfect spiritual plan.

New tongues upon a prayerful notePraise God's illustrious name.

Arouse , O mortal bound with fear,Behold Love's presence ever near;Dark images of mortal thoughtYield to the good that Mind hath wrought.
