Poems

"Blessed are the meek"

The creeping grass that heals and mends and sootheswith gentle touchThe scarred and ragged turf till one may say,"What lovely sward!"The lichen, with its orange finger tipsStaining the stone,And lending color to the frowning cliff,Till one may marvel at the beauty shownin rough gray rock;

My Shepherd

With tender care He leads meOut of my starless night.

"Pray without ceasing"

The shepherd sleeps!The sheep all grazeIn pastures green, on sunny hill,Near running brook—Their needs supplied.

My Offering

Out of the fullness of my heart,Out of the joys Soul doth impart,I give Thee thanks!My only need to love Thee more,To share with all mankind my store.

With God

Begin the day with God;Know His presence doth surround thee,Know His arms are round about thee,Know no evil can confound thee:Thy life is hid in God.
I would be kindTo all who cross my path;To all who cross my thought,I would be kind.

From Church

The demand for church

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.

"I love your promise"*

What is your promise, as you clap your hands,O graceful treesThat in the forest and the meadow landsRustle your tender song to every breeze;What do you sing?

"Peace, be still"

There comes a stillness in the heart,Like twilight after rain,When gloom is gone, and mists depart,And new hope smiles again.

My Prayer

Teach me to give, O Love divine,What Thou hast given to me;Let me reflect to all mankindThy gift of liberty.

Desire

Dear Father, help me to expressThy loving care and kindliness.

Love Will Take Care of You

His anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Heaven

Lo , heaven is here! Be not amazed,Nor scorn the gladsome news: behold,The sick are healed, the dead are raised,The meek the wondrous truth are told!
