Poems

Love and Hate

If I but truly say, "I love,"The darkened way grows bright,And I behold the heavenly light,Beneath, around, above.
Courage, faint heart! the stars shine still,As they have shone ten thousand years;The planets all their work fulfilThroughout the night, and have no fears.

A Hymn

Lead me gently, Love Divine,Through this maze of mortal strife;Let thy brightness round me shine,Breathe in me thy Perfect Life.

Thanksgiving

We give Thee thanks, dear Father, for this day;For all the sunshine shed upon our way;For life, for home, for friends, but most for TheeWe give Thee loving thanks, in unity.

Free!

Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

My Ships

AH, years ago!—no matter where,Beneath what roof or sky,I dreamed of days, perhaps remote,Where ships of mine that were afloat,Should in the harbor lie;And all the costly freights they boreEnrich me both in mind and store.

Our Warfare

Christian , list!— the war we're wagingIs not one of shot or shell;"Tis with thoughts that we are striving,See we watch their movements well.
If any little word of oursCan make one life the brighter,If any little song of oursCan make one heart the lighter,God help us speak that little word,And take our bit of singing,And drop it in some lonely vale,To set the echoes ringing.
This lamp through all the tedious nightOf life, shall guide our way;Till we behold the clearer lightOf an eternal day.

To-Day

Dear heart, yours is to-day,Fill it with work;Dream not the hours away,Nor duty shirk.

"Let there be Light!"

"Let there be Light!" this great commandComes ringing down the years;Thundered by God, and since proclaimedBy prophets, bards, and seers.

Where is Heaven?

Where mercy reigns with grace divineAnd justice rules with square and line,Then query not, but do thy part,And seek, and find it, in thy heart.
