Prelude
All Glory Be To God On High, BWV 662 by Johann Sebastian Bach
Hymn 267
Emily F. Seal, words
Henry Smart, music
Our God is All-in-all,
His children cannot fear;
See baseless evil fall,
And know that God is here.
Our God is All; in space
No subtle error creeps;
We see Truth’s glowing face,
And Love that never sleeps.
We see creative Mind,
The Principle, the Life;
And Soul and substance find,
But never discord, strife.
O, Perfect and Divine,
We hear Thy loving call,
And seek no earthly shrine
But crown Thee Lord of all.
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 213
Isaac Watts*, words
William Croft, music
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for time to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone,
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for time to come,
Thou art our guard while ages last,
And our eternal home.

Hymn 501
Violet Hay, alt., words
Andrew D. Brewis, music
I love Your way of freedom, Lord,
To serve You is my choice;
In Your clear light of Truth I rise
And, listening for Your voice,
I hear Your promise old and new,
That bids all fear to cease:
“My presence still shall go with you
And I will give you peace.”
Though storm or discord cross my path
Your power is still my stay,
Though human will and woe would check
My upward-soaring way;
All unafraid I wait, the while
Your angels bring release,
For still Your presence is with me,
And You do 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 You face to face.
Till time and space and fear are naught
My quest shall never cease,
Your presence ever goes with me
And You do give me peace.
