Hymn selection ~ Sunday, May 22

2nd Hymn: 533                

(Words by Pauline T.)

My life flows on in endless song

Above earth’s lamentation;

I hear the sweet though far-off hymn

That hails a new creation.

Through all the tumult and the strife

I hear the music ringing;

It finds an echo in my soul.

How can I keep from singing?

What though my human

comforts die,

The Lord my Savior liveth;

What though the darkness

gather round,

Songs in the night God giveth.

No storm can shake my inmost calm

While to that Rock I’m clinging;

Since Love is God of heaven

and earth,

How can I keep from singing?

I lift mine eyes, the cloud grows thin;

I see the blue above it.

And day by day this pathway smooths

Since first I learned to love it.

The peace of Christ makes

fresh my heart,

A fountain ever springing;

All things are mine since I am God’s.

How can I keep from singing?

1st Hymn: 245                    

(Words by Frederic W. Root)

O tender, loving Shepherd,

We long to follow thee,

To follow where thou leadest,

Though rough the path may be;

Though dark and heavy shadows

Enshroud the way with gloom,

We know that Love will guide us,

And safely lead us home.

We know, beloved Shepherd,

The path that thou hast trod

Leads ever out of darkness,

And on and up to God.

If from that path we wander,

And far astray we roam,

O, call us, faithful Shepherd,

And bring us safely home.

Throughout the way, dear Shepherd,

Thy strong hand doth uphold;

The weary ones, at nightfall,

Thou gently dost enfold.

And when to Truth’s green pastures

With joy at length we come,

There shall we find, O Shepherd,

Our blest, eternal home.

3rd Hymn:307                      

(Words by Mary Baker Eddy)

Shepherd, show me how to go

O’er the hillside steep,

How to gather, how to sow,-

How to feed Thy sheep;

I will listen for Thy voice,

Lest my footsteps stray;

I will follow and rejoice

All the rugged way.

Thou wilt bind the stubborn will,

Wound the callous breast,

Make self-righteousness be still,

Break earth’s stupid rest.

Strangers on a barren shore,

Lab’ring long and lone,

We would enter by the door,

And Thou know’st Thine own;

So, when day grows dark and cold,

Tear or triumph harms,

Lead Thy lambkins to the fold,

Take them in Thine arms;

Feed the hungry, heal the heart,

Till the morning’s beam;

White as wool, ere they depart,

Shepherd, wash them clean.

From Sense to Soul

(Words by Violet Hay)

From sense to Soul my pathway

lies before me,

From mist and shadow into

Truth’s clear day;

The dawn of all things real is breaking o’er me,

My heart is singing: I have

found the way.

I reach Mind’s open door,

and at its portal

I know that where I stand is

holy ground;

I feel the calm and joy of

things immortal,

The loveliness of Love is

all around.

The way leads upward and

its goal draws nearer,

Thought soars enraptured, fetterless and free;

The vision infinite to me

grows clearer,

I touch the fringes of eternity.
