Truth
Hymn 221
Scriptural Selection
Selections from the Gospel of John
Silent Prayer
The Lord’s Prayer with its spiritual interpretation
Our Father which art in heaven,
Our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Adorable One.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy kingdom is come; Thou art ever-present.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Enable us to know, — as in heaven, so on earth, — God is omnipotent, supreme.
Give us this day our daily bread;
Give us grace for to-day; feed the famished affections;
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And Love is reflected in love;
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
And God leadeth us not into temptation, but delivereth us from sin, disease, and death.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
For God is infinite, all-power, all Life, Truth, Love, over all, and All.
From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, pp. 16-17

Psalms 25:5 (to ;)
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation;
Responsive Reading
Isaiah 25:1, Isaiah 43:3 I am (to :), 6–9 bring, Isaiah 42:1 (to 2nd ;), 3, Psalms 31:1 (to ;), 3, 4 thou, 5, 23 (to :), 24
O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
. . . I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour:
. . . bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth;
A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust;
For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.
. . . thou art my strength.
Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
O love the Lord, all ye his saints:
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.

Hymn 537
The scientific statement of being and its correlative scripture
There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all. Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal. Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 468:9-15)
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
(I John 3:1–3)
Benediction
