Poems

DEUTERONOMY

From the September 1937 issue of The Christian Science Journal


As Moses stood at dawn with outstretched hand
Upon the summit of the great divide
That separated wilderness from wide
And fertile valleys of a promised land,
He prayed to God his weary, wayworn band
Of wanderers would lay their sins aside,
In order that they might in peace abide
Forever subject to the Lord's command.

We stand at dawn upon a mountain's height
And gaze across a promised land today,
While in the growing glow of truth and light
Our Leader points and designates the way.
Oh, may we cast aside encumbering sin,
And with intrepid gladness enter in!
