When once the heart discerns its deepest need,
When truths unclasp beliefs that would impede
Our warm expression here and now of all
We know of God, we hear the gentle call
Of unselfed love: "Arise! On higher ground
More opportunities to give are found."
When Mind reveals the hidden, barren places
Awaiting nourishment from Spirit's graces,
The verities that Love and Soul bestow
Pour forth their glory, spread their afterglow,
Over the readied consciousness—then
Love's allness meets the deepest need of men.
