Safety

Hid in the secret place of Mind,Far from earth's turmoil and distress,Safe in the inmost heart of Love,We find at last our happiness.

Certainty

"It is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

Prayer

Let me not cling to any earthly pattern;Let me not hold to modes and means outworn!Oh, let me rise in inspiration's freedom,And fearless face the new and glorious morn!

"Write them not"

One there was who prayed to see revealedSuch things the earthly-minded cannot know.

My Victory Garden

In victory garden of my heartMay seeds of Spirit flourish;There holy thoughts may Truth impart,And inspiration nourish.

Sanctuary

Let me pause here beside this open doorWhile gratitude floods swiftly through my heart:This is the little room that welcomed her,This the still place in which her thoughts found strength—A humble spot, a tiny "closet"—whereThat one whose heart went out to all mankindCould ponder God's dear love and tender care.

Write for JSH

What time I am afraid,I need to trust Thee more;I need to know that LoveHas ample good in store.

Communion

I shall commune with God,And lay aside tonightEarth's troubles, worries, sorrows, fears,And turn my heart to light.

Protection

Divine Mind guides me day by day,In all I do, in all I say;Intelligence divine is mine,Truth is my way.

Awakening

I awake from dreams of sense,Wake with dawning in my eyes,As in thought the vision breaks—Man is never one who dies,Compassed in a meager span,But a living, changeless ray,Perfect, born of Spirit's will,Shining in eternal day.

Eucharist

Drink deep the inspirational wine,Truth's bread, oh share!Communion, Eucharist divine,Awaits you there.

This Is Our Church

Like a medieval fugitive from wrong,Who fled before his wicked enemyAnd found the church a sanctuary strong,Wherein to claim impregnability,So in this structure pure of Truth and LoveWe find our refuge from pursuing foes,A sanctuary safe, and high aboveThe fear and doubt and pain that would imposeTheir tyrant rule upon us.
