Poems

Joy

Hither, thither, comes and goes,Lighter than the wind that blows,Brightens grass and flower and tree,Dances off across the sea,Carols clear the glad refrain,Peace on earth, the heavenly strain;Blesses every living thing—For it is a thought a-wing.

True Happiness

My Father-Mother, help me day by dayThy law to love, Thy dictates to obey,To see all men Thy sons, Thy children dear,Safe in the perfect Love that casts out fear.

All-Loving Father, to Thee I pray,For the love which banishes fear away.

Since God Is Good

Since God is good, and good is God,And God so fills all space,The power of good is all there is;All else we thus efface.

Loving Father, piloting meThrough the waves of the boisterous sea,Proving always,Thy power to show,Though we pass through the waters,They cannot o'erflow;
