Poems

Guidance

THE peace that comes at close of day Is symbol of the sheltering way God's perfect love broods over men And leads them back to faith again;

Omnipresence

OH, precious knowledge stilling fear,Annulling discord, envy, strife;Revealing God as ever near,As omnipresent Truth and Life!

I like to think of each church that grows up in a community as that community's answered prayer for the presence of the saving Christ—the message of God's love for humanity.

Wayfaring

Naught can disturb my walk with Thee,Thou ever present God.

A Hymn

LOVING Father, Thou hast told usIn Thy sacred Book divine,That Thine arm doth e'er enfold us,That our lives are one with Thine;Yet, regardless of the tokenThat we all Thine image bear,Some believe that they are broken,Fallen, sinful, sick with fear.

My Song

I READ a book of poems to-day,And then I said, I too will write a song,For I am likewise thrilled by lilting bird,And summer sky, and racing cloud, and feathery tree.

"Herein is love"

God sent not His dear Son to us in vain!From out His heaven, He bids us love alwayOur neighbor as ourselves, and Him obey.

Flow on

Flow on, my life; flow singing like a stream,Braving the rapids and the waterfallsTo seek the beauty that forever callsBeyond the bend.

Freedom

No shackles can be placed on graces of the mind,Nor fetters ever bind an action that is kind.
