"UNTO THE LEAST."

If as a man Truth walked this temporal shoreAnd found his way unto my humble door,Would I be ready for the royal guest?

ETERNAL LIFE

The thought of God awakes my life,And brings to me a joy sublime;The realm of toil, the sense of strifeAre all forgot when Thou art mine.

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.

GALILEE

Peaceful as lapping of waves on the lee,Christ-Truth now safely guides over the sea,Quelling the turbulent senses of ill,Calming the waters with his "Peace, be still.

THE COMING OF TRUTH

A golden sunbeam dawns upon my path;A glorious ray, like tender morning light,Awaking life and peace within, without;I fain would hold it, lest it take its flight.

THE LIGHTHOUSE

High on the towering crag it stands,This mighty Pharos of animate stoneNot built with hands.

TO OUR LEADER

I do not need to look upon thy faceTo see the light and radiance of Love.

TEACH ME, O GOD

Teach me, O God, not with my lips to pray—The voice of prayer so many a time is drownedIn murky waves of oft-repeated soundThat choke the Spirit's call.

REST

When work is done,And sleep broods softly o'erThe closing lids of day,Breathe thou a little prayerOf loving gratitudeTo th' Eternal OneWhose law, forever sure,Doth keep thee on thy wayWith tenderest care:And make a placeFor peace to enter inThy waiting heart.

TO THEE

Would I had faith as he who walked the wave,And strength as he who bade the tempter fly,Who conquered death and broke the guarded grave—For Love beheld and heard earth's bitter cry—Would I might hold Thy hand and know Thy help is nigh.

FROM EVERLASTING

Dear child, dost feel too sad to pray?

TRUST

Since Thou art near, O Truth, mistrals may blowAnd blossoms droop, yet song-thought cannot die!My anchored heart no doubt, no fear can know,Since Thou art near.

AT EPHESUS

Again the faces of the careless throngAt Ephesus I see;Again I feel the clutching sense of wrong,Again Love comforts me.
