Poems

"The day the Lord hath made"

Day dawns—a flood of iridescent light!Then flee the phantom fears of yesterday,The lingering shades of night.

Rose of Sharon

Pure eyes that see the Father's cherished sonMidst all the sick and sad upon the roadEnvision them in holy healing.

O Thou Unchanging Truth

O Thou unchanging Truth, whose facts eternalgive us the courage to outface the storm,to rise against the senses' swift alarmand stand unmoved at Spirit's high tribunal,Thy Word acquits us and Thy Word is final.

"Receive thy sight"

"Receive thy sight," the Master saidTo him that walked as blind,For he beheld the perfect man—The image of one Mind.

Ever-present Love

Ever-present Love is here,Guiding, guarding, calming fear;Shining with a steadfast lightThrough the dark of mortal sight.

Let Us Go On

Let us go onThough terror strike,Though shades grow thickAnd fears grow tall,And round about usSome may fall.

The Voice of God

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.

After Asking

Dear Father, I will ask no more.
