THE NEW APPEARING

Of old, a song of angelsproclaimed a Saviour's birth,and Truth and Love incarnatesojourned with men on earth.

SUBSTANCE

The substance of the next year's springtime trees,The bloom of summer and the fruits of fall,Is not in blueprint, warehouse, or decrees;Love's bounty comes before we think to call.

A SONG FOR LITTLE CHILDREN

Like a candle in the darkGod's love shines all around;I close my eyes and go to sleep,For He has promised He would keepHis children safe and sound.

THE LOST

Who was the lamb that wandered wildIn woodlands, dubious and cold,Who left the meadows, green and mild,Who left the starry foldTo wander 'neath an alien sky?

HOME

The sanctuary of home is with us now,The door unbarred, the windows open wide,As we reflect the consciousness of Love,And know no other dwelling place beside.

PROTECTION

Our God is Love, and Love's consummate planDoes not conceive of man opposed to man.

JOINT HEIRS

Art thou concerned with human place.

THE WORDS OF LIFE

Eternal Science, revelation blest,Thou hast the words of Life—Mind manifest.
