"PROVE ME NOW HEREWITH, SAITH THE LORD"

From the August 1929 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Make room, O seeker, make room!
No suppliant thou, lest thy prayer be unheard!
Expectantly certain the promise divine
In uttermost fullness, no moment deferred,
Awaits but thy claiming to seal it as thine;
Make room, O seeker, make room!

Take heed, O seeker, take heed!
Let naught in the storehouse a cumbrance remain
Usurping the place where God's blessing should rest;
Cast out every relic, wipe out every stain,
Lest aught serve to keep thee from knowing His best;
Take heed, O seeker, take heed!

Rejoice, O seeker, rejoice!
God's blessing unmeasured to thee is outpoured,
The windows of heaven for thee are unsealed;
His promise fulfilling, for thee hath He stored
Far more than thy heart's deepest longings revealed;
Rejoice, O seeker, rejoice!

And how, O seeker, repay
The benefits God upon thee doth bestow?
Make room to receive His abundance unguessed,
That doth from His bounty unfailingly flow.
Accepting God's gift is thy gratitude's test.
This do, O seeker, each day!
