"NOW IS COME SALVATION."

What shall I render?

WHAT THE MASTER SAYS TO ME

Can you hear the whisper low — in the trees,Just at nightfall, when the sighing evening breezeFills the sacred moments with repose?

At Christmas-tide men's hearts grow kind,The Bethlehem babe restrains their pride:The whole world feels the Christ-child's mindAt Christmas-tide.

A GARDEN HYMN

My garden glowsWith flowers of God's adorning,His goodness showsThis lovely sunlit morning.

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.

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.
