As a flower its perfume sheds for all,So let thy love in blessed radiance fall,To cheer a heart bowed down with grief and care;"Let thy light shine,"—this is unceasing prayer.

The Messenger

Knowledge

Only to know Thee,That is all we ask or need,To know Thee as Thou art,—A new and wondrous creed

To Him that Hath

If only midst our busy life that seemsAn endless toil of patient strife, there comesOne tiny understanding thought of God,Then all is well.
