Be Still and Know

CLARE H. BLOUGH

To those who learn to listen for God's voiceAnd put no trust in man,To silence all the senses’ clamor—To be stillIn presence of His loving plan—There is a sure rewardIn peace and rest and happinessThe worldly wise can never know,Transcending all this world has ever thoughtOr that which wealth or fame or beauty ever bought.

Poem

Leaning on God

CONRAD EIERMANN

When all material aid is gone,With only God to lean upon,Expectantly to carry onWill bring release.
Poem

Afterglow

CONSTANCE DAVIS GUNDELFINGER

When strength ran low andNights were starlessAnd the sunlight dim;When even bird songs seemed to comeIn far-off minor notes,In prayer I humbly turned to Thee.
Poem

Grace Before Service

FANNY DE GROOT HASTINGS

For what we now are to receive, dear Lord—The soaring Psalms, the melody of praise,The message that has fed us seven days,Transcribed from page to heart, pure word by word,The blessed silence and the faith restoredBy draughts of prayer that satisfy always—For all of these and so much more that staysOur hunger, Lord, our thanks for this Thy board.
Poem

Emergence

MILDRED KENDALL

Now that your tears are spentAnd only this dark weight of grief remainsUncomforted by tender word or offered hand,And solace seems an alien tongue,Turn thought to God.
Poem

The Dawn

JAMES TOWNSHEND MAC VICAR

Before the dawn began to glowAcross the barren fields of fear,There was no light or song to cheer,Nor sage to tell you how to go,Nor chart to mark a friend from foe.
Poem

This Hour

EDNA HENDERSON STRAYER

I put my hand in His,And as I go my wayI prayThat, whatsoever thingI do or say,So much of LoveI may reflectThat confidence will banish fear,Evil lose its claim to power,As joyously I walk with HimToday,This very hour.
