Poems

PRINCIPLE

From the June 1935 issue of The Christian Science Journal


O LIFE, forever free from death,
That cannot know disease or sin,
Our eyes behold Thine upward way,
Our feet with gladness enter in.

O Truth, whose light shines bright and clear,
Illumining the paths of men,
Unto our troubled, anxious sense
Restore Christ's seamless robe again.

O Love, that has no consciousness
Of human hate, or lack, or fear,
Dispel for us each erring thought
That doubts that God is ever near.

O Mind, eternal source of all
The good that Principle bestows,
From Thee, this life and truth and love
To bless mankind forever flows,

Bringing to light God's perfect child—
Immortal, joyous, free, and strong,
Reflecting the eternal good—
The son incapable of wrong.
