BLESSED PROMISE

From the March 1939 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The Master spake in words of love,
And bitter doubts were stilled:
Ye blest, who hunger after Truth,
With Truth shall ye be filled.

He marked with Christly tenderness
The humble gathered there,
And taught them that the meek should claim
The wide earth for their share.

The bowed in spirit shall lift up,
The mourner be consoled—
That Man of Galilee proclaimed
The sacred law of old.

The merciful shall mercy find,
The pure in heart see God,
Peacemakers stand as sons of light,
In holy wisdom shod.

Who bend beneath the scourge of hate
For righteousness' own sake,
Shall deeply know glad recompense,
And heaven's comfort take.
