"PEACE, BE STILL"

He dwelt among the tombs, demented, lost,Untamed, undisciplined, with strength unknown,Fearing and fearsome, fitful, tempest-tossed.

WHEN THE MASTER CAME

We heard that he was coming.

THE COMMAND

The daylight faded from my view,A mountain hid the sun:"What more, dear Father, can I do,Than is already done?

I SHALL NOT FEAR

I shall not fear the shadows on my path,For Love is near to shelter me from chill;I shall not fear, though in the way appearsThe outline of a bare and rugged hill.

THE RECKONING

Dear Father, I will serve Thee and Thy Cause;I will obey and honor Thy just laws.

WE TREAD ON SPIRIT'S FORCES

We tread on Spirit's forces—lawsWhich hold the universe in glorious bondsOf freedom and security.
