God's kingdom is within, the Master taught,
And gave the glorious proof that each may know
Within himself the radiant, living glow
Of Life, of Love—the good he long has sought—
Reflected in his every righteous thought.
No waiting years, no farther need he go
Than where he stands. He sees the wondrous bow
Of promise all fulfilled, not dearly bought.
Deep searching, earnest, consecrated, sure,
We find the peace that ever shall endure.
There sounds in every heart that humbly seeks
The Christ a voice that firmly, gently speaks,
Dispelling doubt and quelling error's din:
Rejoice, O child; God's kingdom is within.
