ANGELS

From the August 1894 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Angels are messages from God
Pure thoughts sent down to man;
They hover round the trustful heart
And all his footsteps plan.

In every age and every clime
The meek and lowly mind,
These messages from God has caught
And voiced them to mankind.

The wise in heart, with reverent ear
The Truth from God receive,
And all the hungry hearts are filled,
Who on the Truth believe.

Think not O, eager, longing soul!
God hides himself away,—
Be pure in heart, and thou shalt hear
His counsel day by day.

Ah! not alone in the dim past,
Is inspiration given;
Today the world's alive with God
Transforming earth to Heaven.
