Prelude
Hymn 572
Seek ye first the kingdom of God
And His righteousness,
And all these things shall be added unto you.
Allelu, alleluia!
Ask and it shall be given unto you.
Seek and ye shall find,
Knock and the door shall be opened unto you.
Allelu, alleluia!
We do not live by bread alone,
But by every word
That proceeds from the mouth of God.
Allelu, alleluia!
DESCANT
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia!

Readings
From the Bible, and correlative passages from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.
Silent Prayer
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Hymn 554
One by one, pure thoughts and holy
Lift us out of self and sin;
One by one, bright gleams of glory
Show the goal we all will win.
One by one, our trusts are strengthened,
As our lives to God we give;
One by one, our days are lengthened,
While in Love we move and live.
One by one, our aims grow purer,
As our deeds reflect our God;
One by one, our path grows clearer,
Guided by Love’s staff and rod.
One by one, our thoughts move forward
To the time by prophets told;
One by one, our lives move homeward
Singing of one Lord, one fold.
Then within Love’s ever-presence
We shall live amid its light,
Knowing well that holy brilliance
Which is called the Infinite.
Know the glories of God’s kingdom,
Hear the music Spirit sings,
Be at one with that great Wisdom
From which all creation springs.
Christian Science Hymnal, No. 554, Words: Carol Norton, Alt. Music: W. Irving Hartshorn (IRVING).
