Praise

MARION ALICE BOWERS

With birds' awakeningMy heart shall soar and sing;O let the Christ be praised!No lurking ghost of fearHas any foothold here;O let the Christ be praised!What unity divineOur shining eyes define,If we the Christ will praise;All purposes sincereA meeting place find here—O let the Christ be praised!And as we grasp God's hand,We learn to understand—O let the Christ be praised!See man's awakeningTo Love's eternal spring—O let the Christ be praised!And so throughout the worldHis banner is unfurled—O let the Christ be praised!The truth we see and knowIn every heart shall glow,And all accord Him praise.
