The Ego God

ELIZABETH EARL JONES

How golden is the sunshine that coaxes out the flowers! The sky is blue with fleecy clouds, the birds sing in the bowers,While children laugh in pure delight and love the happy hours:Oh, life is blooming everywhere, in gleams and glimpses glad and fair;We see it in its varied sheen, but back of all is Life unseen,And Life itself is God.

Rejoice in the Lord

SAMUEL JOHNSTONE MACDONALD

Rejoice! Again I say, Rejoice!But not alone with lute and voice;Nay, first know joy dwells in thine heart,For that thou hast in Truth thy part,Then love from out thy heart will glow,And all the world shall surely know,Not by thine anthems or thy creeds,Nor by thy words, but by thy deeds,Which testimony true affordThat thou hast been with Christ the Lord.

God's Works

GEORGE H. BURCHARD

The works of God beyond compare are great;Not merely mountain huge, and glacier stream,And stars, and sun with golden morning beam,—Although with joy these things we contemplate,Since all that truly is, Mind doth create,—But rather doth the Lord most gracious seemBecause His hand hath made the earth to teemWith blessings fitted to our needy state.

The Pilot

O UNIVERSAL Love, though far we stray,Uncomforted and sad, from thy clear way,Thou followest to soothe who are in pain,And make them whole, and lead them home again.
