Prayer

Oh, Love, whose perfect path is knownTo all who walk the ways of God,Whose mysteries are clearly shownTo pilgrims with the gospel shod,

Omnipresence

I know that God is ev'rywhere!For when I seek Him anywhere,I find Him there.

Penitence

A prophet's house, the road anigh,Yet claimed no glance from passers-by:Too modest for admiring gaze,It spake the prophet's selfless ways.

At-one-ment

As gently as the dew on tender flower,Comes to the heart Love's holy, healing power;As lightly as the breeze in summer air,Truth clears the mist of sense that lodgeth there.

Motherhood

"The night watches"

How shall my heart sing songs in the night watches?

Immanuel

When Love attunes my thought, and hatred flies,And Truth lays bare life's ills 'neath sunlit skies,Then Light of light! My heart in rapture cries.

Reflections

So still and cool, a little pool,With can-tails fringed and grasses,Reflects their sheen of brown and green,Stirred by each breeze that passes.

Radiance

Now do the constant stars their vigil holdO'er sleeping earth until the morning breaks;So Love doth guard us till Life's laws unfold,And from its dream the world to Truth awakes.

"Watch"

A serpent stole its sinuous wayInto the bed where sleeping lay,By slumber bound, a drowsy wight,From serpent's fang defenseless quite.

"Light"

Light, wondrous light, across the evening sky,Aglow on yonder hill!Light in my heart, for God is here and nigh.
