Poems

PRAYER AND PROMISE

From the October 1938 issue of The Christian Science Journal


My heart is weary, Lord. Oh, let me know
The power of Truth which Thou canst e'er bestow,
So that these earnest longings, ill-expressed,
Find comfort in Thy love, and I am blessed.

As the way hardens, Lord of power divine,
Hope trembles in this aching heart of mine;
Yet, o'er my efforts stands the sweet behest:
Come unto me, and I will give you rest.

My store seems scanty, Lord. Ah, did I sow
Enough good will to see my harvest grow?
The Master said: Seek first the right to do,
And all these shall be added unto you.
