Poems

The Lesson-Sermon

From the July 1961 issue of The Christian Science Journal


If in humility I turn to Thee
For inspiration and vitality,
Then is Thy holy Word a living thing,
Filled with commands from Thee, my God and King.

For yesterday these pages unillumed
Seemed dark and colorless, and they assumed
An aspect which to human sense was dull,
But now I know that every word was full
Of glowing messages for every need;
Each individual problem had indeed
An answer there complete; but to perceive
The truth within each page I must receive
Spiritual light, which lifts my thought above
The human evidence and knows but Love.
