Poem

O Still Small Voice!

REUBEN POGSON

O still small voice that came in stillness of the Horeb height,That hushed to silence earthquake, wind, and flame,Come whisper now, that we forget the hour of shameful flight,When evil menaced him who loved Thy name!

Close to Thee, O God

IVA B. LINEBARGER

O, May I walk so close to Thee, from hour to hour,That ever on my upward way,When doubts or fears my path assail,When evil claims my footsteps fail,I then may have the grace to say:I walk with God, and know there is no other power!
