The Perfect Boon

EARL BALDWIN THOMAS

Lord, I am grateful for the healing artThat dawned upon me at despair's black brink,For grace that followed fast my change of heart,For each pure thought that came to me to linkMy consciousness with Mind's eternal might;For trials that purge away the cumbering drossAnd show Love watching through the darkling night,And Truth's triumphant crown beyond the cross.
