Hymn 103
Florence L. Heywood, words
Darmstadt Gesangbuch, 1698, music
Hear our prayer, O gracious Father,
Author of celestial good,
That Thy laws so pure and holy
May be better understood.
Armed with faith, may we press onward,
Knowing nothing but Thy will;
Conquering every storm of error
With the sweet words: Peace, be still.
Like the star of Bethlehem shining,
Love will guide us all the way,
From the depths of error’s darkness
Into Truth’s eternal day.
Readings
Readings from the Bible, and correlative passages from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
Prayer

Hymn 136
Violet Hay, words
Irish Melody, music
I love Thy way of freedom, Lord,
To serve Thee is my choice,
In Thy clear light of Truth I rise
And, listening for Thy voice,
I hear Thy promise old and new,
That bids all fear to cease:
My presence still shall go with thee
And I will give thee peace.
Though storm or discord cross my path
Thy power is still my stay,
Though human will and woe would check
My upward-soaring way;
All unafraid I wait, the while
Thy angels bring release,
For still Thy presence is with me,
And Thou dost give me peace.
I climb, with joy, the heights of Mind,
To soar o’er time and space;
I yet shall know as I am known
And see Thee face to face.
Till time and space and fear are naught
My quest shall never cease,
Thy presence ever goes with me
And Thou dost give me peace.

Hymn 503
Minny M. H. Ayers, alt., words
Mindy Jostyn, alt., music
I walk with Love along the way,
And O, it is a holy day;
No more I suffer cruel fear,
I feel God’s presence with me here.
The joy that none can take away
Is mine; I walk with Love today.
Let’s walk with Love along the way,
And talk with Love and Love obey.
God’s healing truth is free to all,
And Spirit answers every call;
’Tis God dispels the clouds of gray
That all may walk with Love today.
Come, walk with Love along the way,
Let childlike trust be yours today;
Uplift your thought, with courage go,
Give of your heart’s rich overflow,
And peace shall crown your joy-filled day.
Come, walk with Love along the way.
