Poems

Forbear, Forgive, Forget

Forbear, strong heart, forbear;Let not the arrow dartWhich wounds the trusting heart;Forbear, strong heart, forbear.

June

Joy comes, grief goes, we know not how;Everything is happy now,Everything is upward striving;'Tis as easy now for the heart to be trueAs for grass to be green or skies to be blue,—'Tis the natural way of living:Who knows whither the clouds have fled?

Chastity

Think chastely, and the thought shall beA wall of armor unto thee;Speak chastely, and thy words shall growTo noble deeds.

Peace

Skies may lower and lightnings flash, The thunders o'er us roll; Truth lifts her promised bow aloft, And thought ascends to Soul.

The Shadows that Attend Us

The shadows that attend usBy ourselves are cast;The sunbeams that befriend us,From the heavens vast,Shine as free gifts to all as long as time shall last.

The demand for church

I like to think of each church that grows up in a community as that community's answered prayer for the presence of the saving Christ—the message of God's love for humanity.

In time to be Shall holier altars rise to thee,—Thy Church our broad humanity!

Love's Work

Ours the sowing and the weeding and the reaping to be done,God's to send His showers of blessing and His warming sun.
Bow down thine ear, O Lord,And hear my humble prayer;I poor and needy am,And ever need thy care.

From Psalm Eighteenth

Above the flooding of the waves God is my great, high tower:My rock, my fortress and defence, In every tempted hour.
KEEP the sunshine shining onIn the Soul.

MY Prayer

I PRAY Thee, Lord, bring to my mindThe consciousness of present Good!Guide thou my erring steps aright!Teach me to live more as I should.
