TRUE SELFHOOD

We are not poor, alone, nor old,Though mortal sense may argue thus;We are joint heirs with Christ and holdThe wealth that God prepares for us.

TRUE AGE

Dominion over fleeting days is hereAnd can be understoodBy knowing life not measured by the year,But by unfolded good.

THE WORD ONLY

The Word our Master, Jesus, spokeAnd the blind saw, the maid awoke,Is the same Word that fills your mouth—Utter it East, West, North, and South.

OMNIPRESENCE

How can I be alone when daily, hourly,I know that God's dear love companions me!How can I lack when infinite provision,Immutable, enfolds me constantly!

Come not in trepidation,But humbly, quietly,Seeking Love's benediction,The truth that maketh free.
