The Voice of God

JAMES C. TOWNSEND

The voice of God is heard by him who waitsWith understanding heart and eager ear;It comes in tender sweetness through the gloomOf human mind, and baseless mortal fear;It finds its way to dark sequestered cellAnd fills it with the gladsome song of Love,Or comes to him who walks in market place,And sounds in lowly depths or heights above.

Prayer

Let me be aware of the presence of God,Of His allness, His power, His peace;Let me know that omnipotence, filling the earth,Brings freedom in healing's release;Let me heed the direction of eternal Mind,Impelling my progress each day;Let me strive to express more of infinite Love,Whose presence surrounds me alway.
