Poems

The Awakening

First came the hungriness:The costly foods and wines which had been his,So long as he had wherewithal to pay,Were now denied him; and the tasteless husks,Left by the swine which he was set to tend,He dared not take to still the hunger-pang.

Child of God

Hark, child of God!This babbling mortal is not thy true self,The image pure of Love!

My Gift

From secret faults, Lord, cleanse Thou me.

Immanuel—"God with us"

Groweth the journey toilsome?

Illuminated Manuscript

Give me the outlook free and highOf glowing sun, of arching sky,Of soaring bird on lifted wing,Of every laughing, dancing thing,From pattering drops to waving grain,From sky to earth, and back again.

Pilgrims of God

ONWARD we go, pilgrims of God! The South giveth up, and the great Northland; The hordes of the East and the West unite; From the peaceful plains and the mountain slopes, The faithful hear and onward go.
HE stood alone, The Master of us all! And no one heard The wistful human call; His longing for One understanding heart Brought no response; And as he knelt apart, He turned to God, To find in Him alone His need supplied, The Christ supreme—God's own!

Our Leader

FIRM as Truth's own foundations Her faithful teaching stands.
