THE LAW OF GOD

From the July 1902 issue of The Christian Science Journal


There is no law but the law of God,
No power but the power of Good;
No bending beneath the Almighty rod,
No begging for daily food.
For God in His tender, loving care,
Knows not of sin or pain;
And sendeth us not affliction sore,
To bring us to Him again.

Our God is the Father-Mother Love,
Whose law is controlling all;
Who knoweth our need before we ask,
Who answers our earnest call.
He giveth us of His perfect store,
If we on His power rely;
Our health and our strength, our daily bread,
This bountiful all-supply.

So let us all know our Father, God,
Is the source of Love and power.
His law of Good will supply our need,
Whate'er be the day or hour.
There's never a care His Love cannot help,
No sorrow He cannot heal,
No sickness or sin but His loving thought
Can destroy, and Himself reveal.
