Victory

LAURA GERAHTY

There are those moments when the voice of GodComes to our clouded thought in accents clear;When our poor human striving for the bestLeaps out and up to claim the love of Love,Returning not in empty loneliness.
Poem

God, Our God

A. D. NELSON

Through the gloom of our doubt, and the chill of our fear,When we find earthly power unavailing,Gleams the light of Thy truth, and Thy love comes to cheer,O'er our doubt and our fear all-prevailing.

The Syrian Shepherd

ELIZABETH HAYWARD GARDNER

On silent Syrian hills the shepherd watched,Communing in the fragrant star-filled darkWith all-pervading peace, which settled downO'er folded flocks of sheep and little lambs,All trustful in appealing helplessness;Content to feel the shepherd's hov'ring care;Content to rest where'er his presence bides.
