THE STREET OF GOLD

Led at our daily tasks,Led when our tasks are done.

"GRACE FOR TODAY"*

Grace for today, O Love divine,To understand and love Thee more,To yield the mortal will to Thine,Denying self that presses sore.

LOST AND FOUND

I saw that in order to find my life, I had to first lose it—that is, lose all sense of life as material.

EVER-PRESENCE

Midst the sorrow and the pain,Midst the murk and midst the rain,Midst the pleasure and the joy,Giving peace without alloy—Thou art with me!

Forth like a rivulet flows love unfeigned From lofty summits of a pure desire,Where snows are softened by a radiant fire,Then dews celestial on the steeps have rainedAnd springs from hidden depths the light have gained:Down from the lonely peak where souls aspireAnd see and hear the hosts' victorious choir,Down with the joy of freedom well attained.

THE LARK

He sang of life and libertyAnd joy he could not speak,He sang down in the valleyAnd he sang up on the peak.

"I SHALL BE SATISFIED"

O glorious day, when I awake to knowMyself, as e'en the Father knoweth me,—His child, in His own image made,Reflecting naught but Spirit's purity.

HUMILITY

I trod the darkened road of sorrow.

THY PEACE

Truth's morning light has dawned for melAll night I labored in the dark,While wild and tempest-tossed the sea,And waves engulfed my fragile bark.

THE ARMOR OF GOD

Long have I battled, Lord,Long in Thy cause have striven,Wounded and faint am I—See where the shafts were driven!

TRUTH, LOVE, AND LIFE

O Truth! Thy potent touch dissolvesThe densest structure wrong may rear,Gives man his birthright—freedom, might,And brings him heaven now and here.

"LAZARUS, COME FORTH"

So spake the Master, standing by the graveOf one bound hand and foot by error's chain.

IN TUNE WITH GOD

In tune with GodHis angels with us fare,No fear of sin or sickness can alarm;Safe folded in His loving careThere's naught can harm:Welcome the chastening rod.
