Dawn

Opening eyes behold the gloryOf the things Love has prepared;Listening ears attend the storyBy the might of Mind declared;Alleluia! Dreams are ending,Truth has dawned, and in its lightThought, on joyful wing ascending,Sheds the terrors of the night.

Requiescence

Pursuant of the truth I dwell in ecstasy,Nor find the pathway dull nor hard to tread;Each new effect unto its cause is wed,One light supreme, divine, in all around I see.

Each day with loveRoll back the clouds,And your reward shall beMore understanding from above,More Life and Truth to see.

Be of Good Cheer

Be of good cheer, the Master said,For the world I have overcome;And though tribulations you will have,They will help you heavenward, home.

Garments

We would discard the rags of error, Lord,So long we've clung to themFor covering, and have sufferedCold and fear and heaviness of spirit,Unmindful that awaiting usWere garments of praise—Garments beautiful—Ready for the putting on.

By the Will of God

Not by its own volitionBlossoms the violet sweet,Nor the dandelion reveal its gloryHumbly at our feet.

Obedience

The day seemed dark and full of gloom,Athwart the sky the shadow fell,My weary heart gave doubt full roomAnd none seemed near that I could tell.

Mary Baker Eddy

Unnumbered thousands, under God's bright skiesThat glisten nightly, since the shepherds sawThe heavens illumed, and kneeling heard with aweThe angel's song,—unnumbered thousands riseOn earth to-day with happy fearless mien,In stately churches crowned with marble domes,In little scattered hamlets, simple homes,As witnesses to light from heaven seen.

Victory

Fear can never stay the armiesThat are marching on for God.
