Poems

THE BREAD OF LIFE

From the October 1901 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Feed me with Love, O Father,
The bread of Life divine;
The living waters give me,
From that white throne of Thine:
Then shall I hunger never,
And thirst no more shall know,
And from my thought forever
Shall healing rivers flow.
Feed me and heal me, Father;
Guard me where'er I go.

Beneath Thy wings supernal
In safety I shall dwell,
Rejoicing, O Eternal,
That Thou doest all things well.
Though tempests rage about me
And hate may hurl its dart,
Thy Love is all about me,
Thy Truth sustains my heart.
Stand close beside me, Father;
Bid seeming foes depart.

In Thee I am united
With Life and Love divine.
Thy promises are plighted,
And they are ever mine.
Reflecting Thee forever
I know no doubt or fear;
For I am Spirit's likeness,
Perfection now and here.
Omnipotent, eternal,
Thou art forever near.
