Joan Nilson

Lord, when my brother comes to me in pain,Wounded by that sharp two-edged sword, the tongue,When human sympathies have all proved vain,And still with tattered pride his heart is hung—Then show me how to speak to him that WordQuicker and sharper than the two-edged sword.

SERENITY

Helen Lucy Veatch Sutherland

Time is no moreAs this day wraps around meThe sweet serenity and utter joyThat follows work well done,The quiet consciousness of heart content,The memory of past precious hours spentIn earnest seeking what His will decreed,In glorifying Him in word, in thought, in deed.
