Poems

Continuous Love

Continuous is Thy blessing, Lord;To us on streams of love it flows.

Triumph

True Praise

To sing God's praises is a joyous thing—No arduous toil devolves upon this song;Spontaneous and free, it sweeps alongAnd skims the peaks of praise on valiant wing.

A Place of Refuge

ROSA M. TURNER

A Quiet habitation, where my heartMay rest, from fretful cares and troubles freed;Where every kindly act becomes a prayer;Where soft humility clothes every deed;Where drooping thought may rise above the earthTo reach the peak of God's own holy hill!'Tis thus He makes me lie in pastures green,And leadeth me beside the waters still.

Resurrection Song

LEETHA JOURNEY HOFELLER

Beneath the darkness of the treesThe plaintive moaning of the breezeWas hushed; the stars withdrawn.

Though Dark the Night

A Morning Prayer

"What hast thou in the house?"

ETHEL WASGATT DENNIS

In Zarephath a widow, long ago,Despite the seeming press of want and woe,Shared with Elijah her own meager storeAnd saw it multiplied exceeding more.

A Prayer

Father, keep me close to Thee,Guide, direct, and shelter me;May the love which I possessOverflow and others bless.
