What is the prayer that heals?
It is the quiet knowing
That God is All-in-all
And evil but a dream.
It is the truth that comes
To human hearts, bestowing
The peace of God, which flows
From Love's celestial stream.
It is to lift our thought
Above all doubt and hating;
To realize that Love
Casts out all pain, all sin.
It is to work and wait,
And know no fear while waiting,
Since God alone is good
And good must always win.
This silent, healing prayer
Brings surcease from all sorrow.
It binds the broken heart
And calms the troubled breast.
It kindles hope anew
With courage for the morrow.
Its gracious, healing presence
Gives joy and heavenly rest.
