Poems

A PRAYER

From the June 1937 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Dear Lord, we wait in silent adoration,
For Thy still voice which tells us how to pray;
Humbly we kneel before Thy throne of glory;
Father divine, Thou art our strength and stay.

O gentle presence, ever with us dwelling,
In whose sweet sanctuary deepest peace is found;
Grant us the joy that comes to those victorious,
Give us the power that freeth those embound.

Open our eyes that we may know our brothers,
As Thy dear children, satisfied and free.
'Stablish our hearts that we go forth undaunted,
Treading the upward path which leads to Thee.
