Humbleness of Mind

May I be humble, Lord!Not only when I'm comfortedWith wine and oil poured in,But humble when I am rebukedAnd made to see my sin.

The Light Now Shines

No happenings of earth, no shattering blast,Can scatter or destroy the sun's bright rays;Unharmed, untouched, throughout the centuries pastTheir light has shone, and ever through the daysWill beautify and cast their radianceOn land and sea and every living thing,No violence of earth's experienceExtinguishes the glory which they bring.

Let This Be Mine

What shall I ask for more than has been given—Life, Truth, and Love, the consciousness of heaven.

The Joy Revealed

The depths of solitude seem bareTo those who dream they go alone.

The Blessing

Today, dear God, I leaned on You;on Principle,on Mind and Love,and was sustained.

Let no reversal cause dismay,For Truth and Love are here todayAll doubt and dread dispelling;And thought emerges into light,Beholding many mansions brightWithin our Father's dwelling.
