Poems

THE JEWEL OF PERFECTION

(To the "royal priesthood")

From the June 1944 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The treasure of the lapidary's art,
The talisman to wear upon your heart,
The consecration emblem, your rank's right,
The Urim and the Thummim, pouring light—
The jewel of perfection!

Oh, wear it with the thought, "I shall be free
From everything that mars, eternally;
I shall forever know myself God's child,
And keep, all polished brightness, undefiled,
The jewel of perfection."
