"IN THE SECRET PLACE"

From the October 1944 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Safety is not in place. This Daniel proved
When cast into a den of lions. There
God's angels came and "shut the lions' mouths."
Though enmity and hate designed a place
For fatal danger, Daniel felt no fear.
He knew his God protected him. God is
The same tomorrow, yesterday, today.

Danger is not in place. The Hebrew youths
Walked safely through the fiery furnace. There
They found God's ever-present power to save
Omnipotent, and so came forth unharmed.

Young Joseph, trapped by hatred, sold into
Egyptian bondage, clinging fast to God's
Eternal love, saw prison doors at length
Swing wide and treachery fall powerless.
