ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Since knowing Thee unsealed the fontWhere slept the muted wordAnd with Thy gracious wakeningThe slumbering Muses stirredUntil a mighty miracleOf rhythmic song occurred—Since knowing Thee unsealed this fontOf joy so long deferred,My life has been as sweet a songAs man has ever heard.

HEED NOT!

When mortal mind is talkingAnd lifts its hydra head,We do not have to listen,For nothing's being said.

THE SWORD OF GIDEON

And so it came to pass when GideonBlew on his trumpet that a sound aroseLike some vast murmur in the plain.

ANDREW

I know that we can do the works he did.

CONSUMMATION

When we obey eternal MindIn thought, in word, in deed,With grateful joy we quickly findWe have no other need.

THE PURPOSE

Guide Thou my hand upon the pageThat words may there take formAnd shine with light reflecting lightTo travelers in the storm.

ILLUMINATION

Disdainful, arrogant, self-satisfied,Saul journeyed down the long Damascan way;One ruthless purpose his, and pride,The Master's followers to denounce, betray,And persecute them even unto death—For what of good could come from Nazareth?

"TIME NO LONGER"

There shall be time no longer,No more going yonder;No age, nor youth,But changeless truthOf Life never ending,Nor ever beginning,Of Love never pending,Man ever expressingOnly all-present good.

OMNISCIENCE

I AM Because Thou art—Then I am free!For in this consciousness of SoulI seeAll being one,And all earth's fiercest argumentsUndone.
