Poems

Service

It is to stand when all else seems to fall,And lift your vision to a higher plane;It is to see beyond the encircling pallOf disappointment, and of grief and pain.
I would that I could make new words—How pure those words would be,How filled with love and blessedness,How fraught with majesty—That I might use them to expressMy gratitude to TheeFor all the lovely gifts Thou giv'st,For all the good I see.

Wings

Though earth ways be darkened,Above all is bright;We grope mid the shadowsAnd long for the light.

Symbols

I love the silver mist of dawn,Its banners, rose and gold,The dew-pearled buds and blossoms sweet,That with the light unfold.

Waters of Shiloah

I will rest in quietness, not doubting or complaining,If it is Thy will that I should wait beside the way;Or I will go if Love directs, although the path be narrow,Although the stones may bruise my heel, my footsteps willnot stray;

Thy Secret Place

Lord , to Thy secret place I come, Seeking its sweet repose; To me there is no dearer home— Here joy of Spirit glows.

God's Protection

Can God fail him who seeks His guidance?

Love's Tender Calling

O Love divine, we hear Thy tender calling,As sheep that hear their shepherd's voice each day,And joyfully we leave our weary searchingFor rest, to follow Thee on homeward way.

Songs in the Night

Oh , gracious Lord, how sweet the night, how tranquil, still!I feel Thy presence, all-pervasive as the nightItself.

Providence

God's way is plain,And very simple, too;So simple that a little child may knowThe loving thing to do.

Spiritual Sense

That is not sight which looks on man as mortal,But rather blindness, with all error rife;Discernment, God-bestowed, is wise and tender,And so it demonstrates eternal Life.
