Hymn 237
Fay Linn, words
14th Century Carol, music
O may we be still and seek Him,
Seek with consecration whole,
Listening thus to hear the message,
Far from sense and hid in Soul.
He hath promised we shall find Him,
Love divine its promise keeps;
God is watching with the watchful,
God is Life that never sleeps.
If we pray to Him in secret,
Lift to Him the heart’s desire,
We shall find our earthly longings
All made pure by Love’s pure fire.
Then upon the precious metal
God’s own image will appear,
Faithfully to Him reflected,
One with Him forever near.
Readings
Readings from the Bible, and correlative passages from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
Prayer
Silent Prayer, followed by the audible repetition of the Lord's Prayer, its spiritual interpretation being omitted.
Hymn 227
William Cowper, adapted, words
Schicht’s Choralbuch, 1819, music
O Lord, where’er Thy people meet,
There they behold Thy mercy seat;
Where’er they seek Thee, Thou art found,
And every place is hallowed ground.
For Thou, within no walls confined,
Dwellest with them of humble mind;
Such ever bring Thee where they come;
And where Thou art they find their home.
Here we may prove the power of prayer
To strengthen faith and sweeten care;
To teach our faint desires to rise,
And bring all heaven before our eyes.

Hymn 481
Sylvia Dunstan, adapt., words
Charles Villiers Stanford, music
Go to the world! Go into every place!
Go live the word of God’s redeeming grace;
Go seek God’s presence in each time and space.
Alleluia!
Go to the world! Go comfort, bless, and pray.
The nights of tears give way to joyful day.
In serving God, we follow Christ’s own way.
Alleluia!
Go to the world! Go as the ones I send,
For I am with you till the ages end,
When all the hosts of glory cry, “Amen!”
Alleluia!
