THE MASTER'S WORK

The Master always found his work to do,In desert place, on lonely sea or coast.

THE KING

O THE glare and the glamor, the noise and rush, The hurrying reckless speed.

From Conquering hate, enthroning peace

Love's triumph over hate

How can we love when others hate? Prayerful turning to God, divine Love, with the earnest desire to express His qualities under all circumstances will give us strength and ability to do right.

THE HOUR OF PRAYER

In that intense and spiritual calmI seemed to stand upon a little hill;The world's unrest of sorrow and alarmSank into silent valleys and was still;The dissonance and claim of mortal willMerged into concord; in that one supremeAll-glorious moment, every sense of illWas swept away on some supernal stream.

THANKSGIVING

The sweet-brier boasts nor voice nor speech,No tongue the clover hath;Mute is the garden's rainbow reach;Yet perfumed joy each breathes to each,From June to aftermath.

A SCOTCH SUNSET

The day is waning! See, afar,Night's herald trims her peaceful light;As dew there falls on vale and heightThe silence of the evening star.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

The night was dark without a star,Hope shunned a cold and cheerless clime,When, like a shipwrecked mariner,I trembled on the shore of time.

MY EXPERIENCE

I TRAVELED O'er a thorny pathFor many years, nor did I knowThe shining way lay just above—How could I know God loved me so.

DO NOT DOUBT

What's the trouble all about?

INTEGRITY

She stands in all integrity, She does not wing her way;

A THOUGHT

If for every kindly deedDone to us from day to day,We endeavored to take heed And return for it full pay—

SEQUENCE

I love the clouds that sweep the blue;The breeze, that trips the violets through;The swaying grasses, bending trees,The brilliant moth, the valiant bees,I love the shadows of the wood—I love to know that God is good!

STORM AND PEACE

With thunderous, raging sound,The wave's uplifted mightIs vainly dashed on ledge.
