THE COMFORTER

From the December 1907 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The promise of the distant day,
The former time, the far away.
For which the people watch and pray, —
The Comforter!

When will that happy time be here?
The world awaits in doubt and fear;
When will within our midst appear
The Comforter?

Lo, here and now all may be free!
The day has dawned for you and me.
Lift up your eyes, beloved, and see
The Comforter!
