Poems

THY WILL

From the February 1935 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Dear Father-God, give me such clear discerning
That I may know the way Thou leadest me;
That every thought, an ever-constant yearning,
Will be a step from sense and self to Thee.
Dear Father, teach me gratitude for healing,
And for Thy blessings, daily, which are mine;
And may the truth, an ever-clear revealing,
Help me to yield my will, O God, to Thine.

Sometimes Love's tender plan is strangely hidden
By pride of self, or stubborn human will;
Unheeded, messages by which we're bidden
To wait on God, to listen, to be still.
Help me to see true substance in Thy giving,
Rid me of worldliness that I may find
Thy great abundance for my daily living
As I submit my human will to Mind.
