"Peace, be Still!"

LOUIS F. CURTIS.

In stormiest sea there comes to me,A message from above,Mid the lightning's flash and the thunder's crashI hear the voice of Love:Peace, be still! is the whispered word,Peace, be still! be still!And the storm and strife of this dream land lifeAre calmed by the Master's will.

I Prayed, Thy Kingdom Come

I prayed, Thy kingdom come! For winter longHad held the frozen earth in fetters bound;And wretchedness and misery, war and wrong,Age after age, did in the world abound.
