THE THOUGHT THAT LIFTS TO GOD

The thought that lifts to God wings high,Touching infinitude of TruthFrom molecule to star, the whileEncompassing them both.

CONFIDENCE

As the grass downtroddenSprings ever upward to the light,So shall my heart, when error's throesWould all but crush the hope within,Spring ever upward to my God.

ETERNAL SPRING

As stirring boughs put forth their bud and leaf,Unfolding in the warmth of springtime sun,The heart, resurgent, wakes from doubt and fearWhen God is found to be the only One,The One who offers love unlimited,Comforting tenderly His image, man.

ASSOCIATION DAY

I hear a sweet summonsLike bells from afar.

COURAGE

Who , more than Paul, had reason to regretPast errors and the havoc zeal had wrought?

JOY IS WITHIN

Joy comes not from earthly taleOf day's unfolded story,But from the inner chords of graceThat wake with heaven's glory.

UNFOLDMENT

Just as a bud within itselfEnfolds its fragrance, form, and hueAnd waits but on the warmth of sunTo bring its fullness into view,So shall we find in right idea,That comes to us from Mind divine,Inherent all the needed powerTo bring to bloom the full design.

WHO WAIT RECEIVE

The people waited, it is said,Waited for him who soon or lateThey knew would come and raise their deadAnd designate their true estate.
