SONG FOR A PILGRIM

From the March 1938 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Draw nigh to God with a humble heart,
And He will draw nigh to you.
His is the power; your only part
Striving His will to do.
Oh, humble yourself in the sight of the Lord,
And He will lift you up.
Seek for His word in faithfulness,
And joy will fill your cup.

Draw nigh to Love with humility,
With fervent, constant prayer;
Ever He sees you joyous and free,
Made in His likeness fair.
Grace will He give and the wisdom sweet
That cometh from above,
Peaceable, easy to entreat,
The radiance of His love.

Draw nigh to Truth with an asking thought,
Seeking His will to know.
He will reveal what Love has wrought
And the way that you must go.
In your heart shall the word of His Christ ring clear,
Bidding all sorrow cease,
Bringing His presence ever near:
The Lord shall give you peace.
