Poems

LOVE LEADETH

From the May 1903 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It is the province of spiritual sense to govern man.
Science and Health, p. 205.

I KNOW not where, O Lord, my work shall be,
Nor in what field to set my plow;
It is enough to know Thou leadest me;
It does not matter where nor how.

'Tis mine to do! it is not mine to plan;
Man is the channel, Thou the flowing stream.
Led by Thy love alone, immortal man
"Emerges gently" from the error-dream.

Man cannot know where his best work may be,
Nor in what field to set his plow;
It is enough to pray, "Love lead thou me."
It does not matter where nor how!
