Prelude
O Man, Bemoan Thy Great Sin, BWV 622 by Johann Sebastian Bach
Petite Pièce by Joseph Jongen
Hymn 214
Nathaniel L. Frothingham, adapted, words
Cantica Spiritualia, 1847, arr. from G. Joseph, music
O God, whose presence glows in all,
Within, around us, and above,
Thy Word we bless, Thy name we call,
Whose Word is Truth, whose name is Love.
May Love its holy influence pour
To keep us meek, and make us free;
And bind its tender blessing more
Round each with all, and all with Thee.
O send its angel to our side,
Its holy calm upon the breast;
For we would know no other guide,
And we can need no other rest.
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 97
Thomas Hastings, adapted, words
Frank G. Ilsley, music
He that goeth forth with weeping,
Bearing still the precious seed,
Never tiring, never sleeping,
Soon shall see his toil succeed;
Showers of rain will fall from heaven,
Then the cheering sun will shine;
So shall plenteous fruit be given,
Through an influence all divine.
Sow thy seed, be never weary,
Let not fear thy thoughts employ;
Though the prospect seem most dreary,
Thou shalt reap the fruits of joy:
Lo, the scene of verdure brightening,
See the rising grain appear;
Look again, the fields are whitening,
Harvest time is surely here.
Notices
Experiences, testimonies and remarks on Christian Science
Hymn 109
Maria Louise Baum, words
Attrib. to Mozart, arr. by H. P. Main, music
Here, O God, Thy healing presence
Lifts our thoughts from self and sin,
Fills with light their hidden places,
When Thy love is welcomed in.
Here Thy tender sweet persuasions
Turn us home to heavenly ways,
While our hearts, unsealed, adoring,
Pour the fragrance of Thy praise.
Reverent lives unveil Thy beauty,
Faithful witness bear of Thee;
Binding up the broken-hearted,
We reflect Thy radiancy.
So may deeper consecration
Show Thee forth in healing’s sign,
Till through joyful self-surrender
We in Love’s pure likeness shine.
Postlude
Lord God, Now Be Praised, BWV 601 by J.S. Bach
In My Beloved God I Trust by Johann Pachelbel
