Poems

"The house of the Lord"

(Ps. 122:1)

From the August 1993 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Oh, I am glad; yes, I am glad
To help the sick and lift the sad,
To go to the house of the Lord
And hear God's Word, the two-edged
sword,
Destroying fear on Sabbath morn.
I follow Truth and am reborn!

Oh, let us go; yes, let us go
To overcome the worldy woe
In quiet midweek evening hour,
Rejoicing in our God's great power;
In groups or joyous solititude,
Hearing the voice of gratitude!

Come, let us pray; yes, let us pray
And find on earth the Christly way—
At any time, in any place,
See His goodness and tender grace
Expressed by all who with accord
Abide in the house of the Lord!
