Swift-flying bird winging your way aloft,What drew you down to dark entanglement?

CHRIST CAME

He came to the Magdalen close to the tomb,Comforting grief;He came to the eleven in the locked room,Quickening faith;He came to sweet Galilee in the bright morn,Pledging his love;He stood by the seaside, among the newbornFishers of men;He gave them commission that they should go forth,Preaching the Word,On seas of the nations and lands of the earth,Christ to be near.

MOTHER–LOVE

The small child stamped his feetAnd snatched a toy.

COMFORT

Because I learn to lean on Thee,Thy goodness calms and strengthens me,And sin, disease, and darkness flee.

NEVER A BACKWARD GLANCE

Why should it take the stubborn feet so longTo find the shining highway of the Word?

SHEKINAH

Always I toiled along the arid years;Always I tackled error in the gloom,Adding self-condemnation to the fears,Counting the cobwebs in a darkened room.

THIS IS THE CHRIST
