"MY FATHER WORKETH HITHERTO"

From the June 1944 issue of The Christian Science Journal


God has His plan and program for today,
the day that He has made,
the master plan conceived majestically,
the smallest detail specified
and every detail good.

At first we may not see the workings plain,
the distant purpose that He sets in train
to bless us in its season; but we know
God is at work. And this we also know,
that Love, intelligence, and power combine
to bring all things precisely into line.

God has His plan and program for today;
cause and effect in instant interplay
complete the purposes that He has willed;
hunger is satisfied, and hope fulfilled.
Finding our God-endowed identity,
we lose alike self-love and self-ennui.
New talents, new capacities unfold,
as we upon the boundless basis build
of the one Mind that gives to every hour
purpose and zest and power.

God has His plan and program for today;
and even now we see with opened eye
the full achievement of man's destiny,
the unassailable fact of God and man
co-perfect, since before the world began,
and still co-perfect in the eternal plan.
Founding our thought upon this rock, we see
today unfold in ordered harmony.
