Hymn 221
Margaret Glenn Matters, words
Justin H. Knecht, music
O Jesus, our dear Master,
Thy works, now understood,
Reveal their full effulgence
Through love and brotherhood.
Today Christ’s precious Science
Thy healing power makes plain:
With joy may all obey thee
And cast out sin and pain.
The Christ, eternal manhood,
As God’s own Son beloved,
A tender ever-presence
Within each heart is proved.
O God, our Father-Mother,
Thy name we see expressed
By man, who in Thy Science
Is perfect, holy, blessed.
O Science, God-sent message
To tired humanity,
Thou art Love’s revelation
Of Truth that makes us free.
Thy kingdom, God, within us
Shows forth Love’s sweet control.
God’s idea, man, rejoices;
He knows the reign of Soul.
Readings
Readings from the Bible, and correlative passages from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
Prayer

Hymn 234
Washington Gladden*, words
H. Percy Smith, music
O Master, let me walk with thee
In lowly paths of service free;
Tell me thy secret; help me bear
The strain of toil, the fret of care.
Help me the slow of heart to move
By some clear winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.
Teach me thy patience; still with thee
In closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong.
In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future’s broadening way;
In peace that God alone can give,
With thee, O Master, let me live.

Hymn 600
Fenella Bennetts and Robert Witney, words
Andrew D. Brewis, music
Who was that man in Galilee,
Healing and teaching beside the sea?
What was the power that made him strong?
How can we learn to sing his song?
He told us,
I am the light of the world,
I am the light of the world,
So follow me and shine out
For I am the light of the world!
Why are we here, and who are we?
What is his purpose for you and me?
Our little light seems small and dim
Next to the blaze that comes from him!
He told us,
You are the salt of the earth,
You are the light of the world.
So follow me and shine out
For you are the light of the world!
Christ is the light with which we shine,
Lit from within by this love divine.
Step out with courage, dare to go,
Give from the heart the love you know.
He told us,
We are the salt of the earth,
We are the light of the world.
We follow him and shine out
For Christ is the light of the world!
