In Thankful Praise

Dear God, I thank Thee I may feelThy presence everywhere;In silence sweet, or storm, may knowThe calm of answered prayer;

"Now is the accepted time"

You do not walk in darkness, child,For I have given you light;Your way is not through deserts wild,But ever in My sight;There is no cloud of blindness droppedAcross My children's eyes,But you with constant vision go'Neath Love's rejoicing skies;Salvation full for all is sure,Not limited nor strained;No condemnation rests on you,From bondage all unchained;For Love is infinite, is All;Hate has not any power;And this salvation draweth nigh—Behold, now is the hour!

Faint not, nor hearken error's lies,On eagle's wings your thoughts may rise;Walking or running, you shall findThe strength of ever-active Mind.

Hear, O Israel

SHALL we, the people of that favored nation,Brought out from Egypt 'neath God's outstretched arm,Saved from the Red Sea's terrifying waters,Kept in the wilderness from threat of harm,Fail to perceive that, here and now, in Science,We have our pillar of the cloud by day,While in the darkest night its shining radianceGuides and protects us all our upward way?

The Prodigal

He took my shabby cloak and broughtA shining one instead.
Love directs and leads me onward,Up the rugged mountain height;With my hand in His, I fear notLowering clouds or starless night.

Love Always the Victor

I stand as sentry at the door of thought,Guarding the entrance to my fortress strong,The sword of Truth held fast in my right hand,And Love's bright armor on.

Since Love Is All

Since Love is All, then bitter thoughts must go.

"Thy will be done"

WHEN clouds of sense obscure the viewAnd seem to hide the narrow way,What joy it is to humbly pray,Father, what wouldst Thou have me do?

This Is the Hour

When Jacob faced the angel visitant,He prayed and knew that good alone had power;And to this presence said in covenant,"I will not let thee go.
