Poems

Did you cast the stone— criticize one of God's own— or were you hit? It cannot matter. No stone was thrown.

A man stayed here. (This we are told.

O heart, be lifted up! This Easter morn The secret of eternal Life is born! As dawn once broke above Judean hills, The light of immortality fulfills The prophecy: For one indeed arose To live again! With Life and Love unfurled He brought eternal morning to the world! He broke the chains of death and showed us all Beliefs of sin and darkness have to fall. The years the locusts ate Truth shall restore Till hate and misery shall be no more! When mankind truly understands the Word, They will accept and know the risen Lord.

"God is Love. " That is what the Book says.

No man can grasp the sun's bright rays, A handful for him alone. No man can call the spirit of Christ A possession of his own.

Unselfed love counts not the cost, Fears no sharing with a brother. This the true way and none other, Full completeness never lost; Like an ever-flowing river, Love the gift, and God the Giver.

Let me remember all Thy mercies, Lord, With grateful understanding of Thy Word: How at a time when hope and joy had fled, And doubt obscured the narrow path ahead, A shining rift within the clouds of sense Unveiled Thy glorious omnipotence Upon the mount, revealing unity Of God and man as truth that makes men free From sin and sickness, every earthly ill. Let me remember—Thou art with me still.

As I reflect the love of God Whose presence sin cannot endure, Who makes and keeps His children pure, In blessedness I'll rest secure. As we express the love of God, No hint of doubt or jealousy, Nor shadow of disloyalty Will mar our perfect constancy.
