HYMN 83
God made all His creatures free;
Life itself is liberty;
God ordained no other bands
Than united hearts and hands.

One in fellowship of Mind,
We our bliss and glory find
In that endless happy whole,
Where our God is Life and Soul.

So shall all our slavery cease,
All God’s children dwell in peace,
And the newborn earth record
Love, and Love alone, is Lord.
(Christian Science Hymnal, No. 83:1–3)

Hymn 550
The words of this hymn were written
by Mary Baker Eddy,
the Discoverer and Founder of
Christian Science, in her poem,
"Christ Is My Refuge"

O’er waiting harpstrings of the mind
There sweeps a strain,
Low, sad, and sweet, whose measures bind
The power of pain,

And wake a white-winged angel throng
Of thoughts, illumed
By faith, and breathed in raptured song,
With love perfumed.

Then His unveiled, sweet mercies show
Life’s burdens light.
I kiss the cross, and wake to know
A world more bright.

And o’er earth’s troubled, angry sea
I see Christ walk,
And come to me, and tenderly,
Divinely talk.

Thus Truth engrounds me on the rock,
Upon Life’s shore,
’Gainst which the winds and waves can shock,
Oh, nevermore!

From tired joy and grief afar,
And nearer Thee,—
Father, where Thine own children are,
I love to be.

My prayer, some daily good to do
To Thine, for Thee;
An offering pure of Love, whereto
God leadeth me.
(Christian Science Hymnal, No. 550:1–7)


SOLO
The words of our solo today
are pre-recorded. For those who like
to follow silently along with the soloist,
go to Hymn #502, or here online.

I place them in Your hands, dear God,
I trust them to Your care,
The One who marks the sparrow’s fall
And numbers every hair.

You cherish and You guard them all
From snares of every kind.
No false responsibility
Disturbs my peace of mind.

Your love, far greater than my own,
Provides for them all good.
This have I learned—to humbly trust
Your father-motherhood.
(Christian Science Hymnal, No. 502:1–3)

HYMN 504
I want to know the truth that Jesus taught us,
To taste the liberty his promise brought us.
In Life we see that fear and death are not found.
We know as Mind is knowing: We are God-crowned!

The master Christian gave us his pure teaching
And guided us in healing and in preaching.
Love’s gospel casts out sin, and brings us healing,
Whereby we all are blessed by Truth’s revealing.

Forever, we have Truth, as Jesus stated,
The Soul that gives the joy we’ve all awaited,
And Principle to guide our pathway upward,
The light and harmony that moves us forward.
(Christian Science Hymnal, No. 504:1–3)
