Poems

The Nazarene

MARION SUSAN CAMPBELL

He told us everything he could About the lilies, and the way The shepherds carry home the lambs Within their arms at close of day; How we within our Shepherd's fold Are ever safely housed and fed, And all who walk with tender Love Like little lambs are gently led.

Desire

E. JEWEL ROBINSON

My one desire, dear Lord, with Thee to walk; And in that sweet communion, day by day, So quickened be, that I may hear Thee talk, And garner closely all that Thou would'st say.

Desire

WILLIAM B. HIGGINBOTHAM

Healing Christ, heal me to-dayFrom the ills which lead astray.

The Summit

ZITA F. BLANKENBAKER

O God , divine encircling Love,The mountain path to libertySeems long.

My Prayer

HELEN FRIEND ROBINSON

GUIDE me, O thou gentle presence,Lead me always in Thy way,Let Thy light shine e'er before me,That my footsteps may not stray.

Unfoldment

NORVAL E. MALLAHAN

How like the dawn upon the morn, Comes truth—the light of God—to me! It finds me destitute, forlorn, And opes mine eyes, that I may see.

Footsteps

Nellie A. Smith

Just a word, a smile, a handclasp, Little though it seem to be,May be just the act that's needful, One to lead, dear Lord, to Thee.

“What is truth?”

Harry V. Forehand

What then is truth?

Reality

MARGUERITE RUSSELL CARY

There is no death! The earthborn, fleetingEphem'ral forms—a shadow, dream—Reality dispels, revealingLife infinite, Being supreme!

Sunset and Dawn

THE sun sank down, and darkness fell Upon the lonely world.

The Church

STONE on stone, Prayer on prayer, Build them high.

God's Gift

WILSON K. DOTY

The grace of God!It comes we know not how;It blesses us where'er we be,Whate'er we do, and now.
