PENIEL—THE FACE OF GOD

From the February 1926 issue of The Christian Science Journal


When wearied by earth’s dreams,
And thoughts from self arise,
A ray breaks through the mist that seems,
And Truth appears to waking eyes.

Clear vision from above
New heaven and earth unfolds,
And more of wisdom, Truth, and Love
Our now transcendent sight beholds.

As God is understood,
The sense-dreams that enthrall
Are vanished quite. Naught but the good
Remains, for God is seen as All.

Appears a Godlike race;
No error can invade
His realm. We see Truth face to face,
And know the things that God hath made.
