Fresh upon the listening ear
Of one who waits upon the Word,
Comes inspiration, calm and clear,
As whispers of God’s truth are heard.
New concepts only Mind can give
Call gently at the open door
Of consciousness, which longs to live
In heavenly places, more and more!
The Reader, moved to holy thought
So sweetly furnished from above,
Receives the manna, humbly sought
In grateful prayer—embraced by Love.
The pure desire for growth in grace
Ascends to heaven—the Christ awaits
And, shining from this peace-filled place,
Restores, renews, rejuvenates!
The healing revelation flows,
As, in this joyful, sacred hour,
Each God-blessed hearer clearly knows
That Truth, unveiled, is timeless power.
