Poems

Open our eyes

From the September 1987 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Open our eyes that we may see
the perfect man without, within.
Turn us from shadow to the Truth,
dispelling sorrow, sickness, sin.

Open our eyes to ageless Life,
to joy and health that cannot cease,
to know the Mind that cares for us,
to thoughts that ever dwell in peace.

Open our eyes to Spirit's law,
giving us vision for far and near,
to perfect sight now understood
as Soul's reflection, strong and clear.

Open our eyes to the present Christ;
scales of matter and fear will fall
in the refining love of God,
the love of Love, beholding all.
