Protection

JOHN H. LEPPART

OH, Thou almighty power above,Who rulest us alone with love,Thou, now and ever, be our guide,Thy wisdom sure, all good betide;May we no error, sin, or painAccept, or falsely entertain;No sorrow, gloom, or sudden fearBe near us while sojourning here;May Thy dear love keep sin away,And lighten for us every day.
Poem

On Upward Wing

As sings the lark on upward wing,Trilling his joy for all to hear,So would I sing, my Lord and King,Of all Thy love and care.

Twice came the heaven-lit words To heal the plaint of grief: I have formed thee of Myself! My radiant right shone out As instantly as bird-song Pierces night; All earth-tied weights slipped off.

Recompense

LOUISE P. LAWRENCE

DEAR God, may I, as recompense for Love,Give tithe of tenderness, some kindness show;Help lift some thought to quietness, above!Dear God, may I, as recompense for Love,Thy ever present help to someone prove,That here and now Thy healing waters flow!Dear God, may I, as recompense for Love,Give tithe of tenderness, some kindness show!

ONLY to hold a cup of water coolTo lips that thirst for welling drafts of Life,Instead of earth's salt pools of bitternessBrimmed with illusions—This is what I ask,Leaning on strength divine to do my joyful task.
