Poem

Divine Love

ALFRED ERLE

O Love divine,Thou wonder of eternity,Thy light thrones high above the heavens;Thy depths are all-unsearchable;Thy sacredness doth hush the senses, self-beset;Thy patience tireth not, nor frowns;Thy strength lags not, nor is it spent in vain.

Our New Hymnal

I walked within a garden fair,And talked with Him;I fought a valiant battle there,My eyes were dimWith grateful tears; each page I tookAs mine, for thus my lovely bookWas pointing me to upward look.

"Yet I will rejoice"

MABEL H. SCHROEDER

THOUGH the fig tree shall not blossom, And the vines no fruit shall yield; Though the olive bear no fruitage, Neither meat be in the field; Though the flock from fold be absent, And no herd be in the stall; "Yet I will rejoice," with singing, Knowing naught but God, as All.

Poem

A Shepherd's Song

DOROTHY THODY

White on the waking hills I oft have seen— Where half delays the starred and peaceful night— The cloudy sheep pass softly into light, Like hawthorn drifted on the lovely green; And in that hour have breathed Thy tenderest name: Good Shepherd! go before, and guide Thy lamb.

The Advent of Love

E. MARY RAMSAY

Softer than flight of tawny owl in the tender dim of June, More dear to the heart than the curlew's cry, or the rushing river's tune,Brighter than ray of rising sun on the dew-bathed heathery ben Falls the first touch of infinite Love on the weary hearts of men.
