CONSUMMATION

From the February 1931 issue of The Christian Science Journal


When we have learned to love our fellow man
As Jesus loved, and truly understand
The nothingness of error, sin, and pain,
We can go forth with joy and peace and power
And prove Christ's living presence hour by hour,
With comforting and healing works again.

When we have learned that God is our supply,
We do not fret, nor fear, nor question why
We cannot see the path that lies ahead;
But we can happy be each busy day,
And trust, as does the little child at play,
The Love that meets our every need, instead.

When we have learned to know the Father's care
Encircles His reflection everywhere
And is unfailingly benevolent,
We do not strive to right a world of woe,
But leave to boundless good the phantom foe,
And just to mirror Love are well content.
