Poems

Dear Lord, I pray

Dear Lord, I pray, Thy glorious light to see.
Create in me a humble heart,
And angel thoughts of love impart
To lead me home to Thee.

Dear Lord, I pray, teach me to do Thy will.
From out the night of doubt and fear
I rise in faith and joy to hear
Thy tender words, “Be still.”

Dear Lord of life, beyond this mortal dream,
With grateful heart in Thee I find
My heavenly Father-Mother, Mind,
Omnipotent, supreme.

Dear Love, in Thee, I know no fear or harm.
Waking from earth’s delusive spell,
In Thine enfolding arms I dwell,
In blessed peace and calm.
