As children to their mother drawing near
A well-loved story once again to hear,
So come we to this quiet place to be
Through spoken word acquainted, Lord, with Thee.
And as the truth unfolds to us from Mind,
The disappointments all are left behind,
And ills, and pains, and fears, long cherished, cease,
Yielding their outgrown power to trust and peace.
And grateful hearts go forth with joy to tell
That God alone is King, and all is well.
