THE GENTLE PRESENCE OF SPIRIT

From the January 1967 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The spiritual is a kind and tranquil eye
whose seeing is alert and clear, and keen
enough to look through mists and see the sky,
to see the real, that is not humanly seen.

The spiritual is an ever-attentive ear
which listens to God's children when they call.
It is attuned to Truth and cannot hear
the voice of sickness, sin, or death at all.

Spiritual thoughts are meek and angel-pure.
They come with cleansing power for those in need.
They heal both sin and suffering with sure,
deft touch; and they restore to life the dead.

This gentle presence of Spirit men can prove
when each obeys the healing law of Love.
