This is a setting of a poem by 6 students (Charlotte M., Katy M., Abi P., Patrick S., Emma S., and Jennie W.) in a Christian Science Sunday School in Toronto which uses all the synonyms for God as understood in Christian Science. It is based on the Daily Prayer in the Manual of The Mother Church by Mary Baker Eddy.
The melody is diatonic and based on 2-in-a-bar but with extended bars to enable the singer to bring out the full meaning of the words. The accompaniment is a flowing figure which moves up a third for the second verse.

The Reign of Divine Truth, Life and Love
Music by John F. Wilson
Lyrics by Mary Baker Eddy
Let Life’s light reveal the law of being;
Let Truth show me all I need to know.
Let Love’s warmth be felt by all around me,
Let Principle guide me where to go.
Let Soul’s grace lift me in my waking;
Let Mind direct me to the place I need to be.
Let Spirit inspire true kindness in my actions;
Let the reign of God be established in me!
