THE SWEET ROAD OF WISDOM
By Brooks Alden Overcoming Uncertainty---1993
Oh, Loving God, what seek I in thy munificence
Must my heart beat so fearfully in uncertainty
What say I when life turns its fury inward
What know I of thy wisdom, thy power, thy love
And who must to savour thy divine gifts
Cannot this maelstrom deep in my brain subside
Is thy loving peace too elusive a gift to grasp
Why think I well along thy sweet path of wisdom
To find I am at but an early bend on thy road
And who must I to savour thy divine gifts
So many temptations block thy narrow passageway
Yet still I hunger to grasp thy Godly promise
To relish thy peace of enduring tranquillity
To soothe my heart in the purity of thy love
For need I must to savour thy divine gifts
So on go I in search of thy grand munificence
Find must I thy fountain of hallowed wisdom
Feel I my heart beat wildly with anticipation
Sensing thy power as it bathes my longing soul
For need I must to savour thy divine gifts

THE FINDING OF LOST ISRAEL IN THE BRITISH RACE
By Mary Sophia Brown
We thank Thee for the wondrous Light
Thou sheddest forth to-day;
Leading, as Thou hast ever done, Thy children on their way.
We thank Thee our eyes can trace
Within Thy Sacred Word,
Thy wondrous doings with our Race,
That oft-times sinned and erred.
Speed, speed the breeze which thus shall spread
The news so quickly round -
"Lost ISRAEL, within our Race,
True to Thy Word, is found."
We thank Thee for these latter days,
When ISRAEL shall see Our brethren,
JUDAH, join with us, Low bending at Thy knee.
E'en now, they're coming quickly forth,
Thy Precious Name to own;
Soon shall we all be one again,
As Thine own Word hath shown.
