Thou Art the Power

My God Is There

FRANCES S. LARKIN

Where the rich blossoms of the springtime sway,And flash their colors in the rising sun,And seem to breathe out, opening one by one,A little prayer to bless the newborn day—My God is there.

Poem

Love's Bounty

MARY STONE WALLACE

IN the eternal good we live and move;Blessing and bounty wait to be perceived;While we give thanks with humble hearts, sincere,For things made visible, gifts more complete,Joys more secure are on the way to us,Whose coming undelayed, unheralded,Oft brings surprise, and all our gratitudeSeems small beside the largeness of the gifts.
Poem

Poem

Unchanging Love

FRANCES L. BAIRD

Unchanging Love, to feel Thee near,To see Thy harmony appearWhere error's phantom shadows goAcross earth's dreamland, to and fro,Stills every thought of human fear.
Poem

Help Me To Know

PEARLE M. WARREN

Dear God,Help me to knowThat ev'ry cupThat Thou wouldst have me drink,Will overflow with good—Not just for me,But overflowWith good for mine and all.
Poem

Dawn

HENRY F. MUNDT

A sigh for peace,A prayer of hope,An answ'ring gleam of Love divine!A ray of Truth,A shaft of light,Which penetrates the darkened thought!A joyous cry,I see! I see!And all is well again—'t is day!
Poem

Safety

BESSIE EVANGELINE MURCH

His tender care the bees and birds all know;Love guides them through the shadows to and fro.
Poem

The Little Lights

LUCIE HASKELL HILL

How brave are they whose task it is to keep the small lights gleaming:The mother sitting, book in hand, in some high mountain home; The sailor sending forth the truth into the storm's fierce seeming;The patient farmer waiting for his harvest time to come.
Poem

Let us Say—Godspeed

MARIAN J. COBB

Whene'er a valiant soldier of the crossWrestles, like Jacob, till the break of day,Waiting the angel's touch, which comes to smiteThe thigh of error till its strength gives way,Perhaps in such an hour it may enhanceHis courage as he wrestles through the night,To know that other soldiers think of him,And wish him Godspeed in his holy fight,Rejoicing with him in the certaintyThat Truth's all-power will vanquish every foe,Knowing that victory is assured to thoseWho with the sword of Spirit armed go.
