A Prayer for Needy Ones

I come, dear Lord, with this first fall of snowTo lift my heart in tender prayer for themWho have great need, and yet who do not knowThe way to touch the Master's garment hem.
Poem

Highway

MARGARET L. SEAMAN

Bring low my mount of selfishness, O God,Exalt the darkened valley, till a roadLofty but level, smooth and straight, appears—Thy highway, where my humbled, following feetMay tread henceforth in lightness; where the tearsWill rise no more, and where my soul,Freed from the phantoms of the mortal load,In selfless journeying may find its peace.
Poem

Mount of Prayer

RUTH MARIE DILLON

Sweet mount of prayer! With earliest morning lightMy waking thought with joy ascends to thee;Within thy quietude I seek God's face,And always find Him waiting there for me,Waiting to gird me with His strength and power;He knows my need, and that throughout the dayMy trusting heart will turn to Him each hour,And seek His loving counsel all the way.

Poem

Light

AMY DAVISON WILBUR

God said, Let there be light, and it was day,The formless void of night had passed away;Nor sun, nor moon, nor stars as yet were made,But Truth revealed gave light that could not fade.
Poem

Reflection

ALMA G. V. HARRISON

The moon is full tonight;Its gentle lightBathes all around in beauty, yet that beamIs only the reflection of a rayFrom the majestic sun that rules our day.
Poem

The Awakening

BEATRICE CLAYTON

THIS time-belief, this mundane phantasy,Now thrills with pleasure, now distracts with grief;But what of that?
Poem

Gratitude

GISEL A. BAUMGART

SING to God a song of gladness!Hymns of praise and cheerBanish error-thoughts and sadness,Cast out thoughts of fear.
Poem

Messengers

EDITH L. PERKINS

Twas nothing but a common little flower—A bit of bloom beside the dusty way—Yet of its best bestowing hour by hour,The cheer it gave the traveler, who can say!
Poem

The Call

WILLIAM S. H. ROBINSON

I heard a great cry that went up toward heaven,As if from human hearts by bitter painAnd ill-rewarded toil and grief oppressed.
