I and My Father Are One
Music by Mindy Jostyn
Lyrics by Mindy Jostyn and Jacob Brackman

Like a river that runs to the ocean
Like a ray reaching out from the sun
Like the leaf and the vine, the grape and the wine
I and my Father are one

And may each of us claim it as truly
As the man who we heard was His son
And may each of us know in the depths of his soul
I and my Father are one

One in beauty, one in truth
One in the asking, one in the proof
One in time and one in space
One in the goodness that flows from His grace

Though our fears may estrange and divide us
May we seek to dissolve them through love
We are sister and brother, each bound to the other
And one with our Father above

One in purpose, one in power
One in the moment, one with a flower
One in kindness, one in peace
One in the Mind that foresees our release

Like a seedling that grows in the forest
Like the light shining forth from the sun
Like a branch and the tree, a drop and the sea
A hymn and the choir, a flame and the fire
I and my Father are one

O Lord Most Holy
Words by Frank La Forge
Music by Cesar Franck

O Lord most holy, O Lord most mighty
O loving Father Thee we will praise alway.

Help us to know Thee, know Thee and love Thee,
Father, father, grant us Thy truth and grace.
Father, father, guide and defend us.

Keep Thou our humble hearts,
Lead Thou our wandering thoughts.
In all our trials let us find our help in Thee.

And in temptations hour,
Saved through Thy mighty power,
Thine aid O send us hear us in mercy.
Show us salvation so shall we live and sing praise to Thee.

BREAK FORTH INTO JOY

LYRICS BY ISAIAH & PETER LINK
MUSIC BY PETER LINK

How beautiful upon the mountains
Are the feet of Him
That bringeth forth good tidings
That publisheth salvation
That saith unto zion
Thy God reigneth

Thy watchman shall lift up the voice
With the voice together they shall sing
For they shall see eye to eye
When the lord shall bring again Zion

How beautiful upon the oceans
Are the hands of Him
That bringeth forth great tidings
That publisheth salvation
That saith unto Zion
Thy God reigneth

Break forth into joy
Break forth into joy
Break forth into joy
Sing together ye waste places of Jerusalem

How beautiful upon the sunrise
Is the mind of Him
Who bringeth forth his blessings
And shapes the life within us
I saith unto Zion
My God reigneth

Break forth into joy
Break forth into joy
Break forth into joy
Sing together ye waste places of Jerusalem

Break forth into joy
Sing together ye waste places of Jerusalem

Break forth
Break forth
Break forth into joy
Sing together ye waste places of Jerusalem
Break forth into joy!

Consecration
Text from Micah 6:8; Ps. 95:6, 7;
And the sixth Tenet of Christian Science by Mary Baker Eddy
Music by April Brahinsky

What doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and
to walk humbly with thy God?

O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our
maker.
For he is our God.

And we solemnly promise to watch, and pray for that Mind to be in us which
was also in Christ Jesus; to do unto others as we would have them do unto
us; and to be merciful, just, and pure.

Faith Is
Text from Hebrews 11:1-2, 13, 16b; 12:1a: vers. Austin C. Lovelace, alt.
Music: Austin C. Lovelace

Faith, faith, faith is the substance of things hoped for,
The evidence of things not seen.
Faith, faith, faith.

The faithful ones of old obtained a good report.
These kept faith, awaiting still the promise;
And, knowing it would be fulfilled,
Were as strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God,
And He has prepared for them a city, a city called heaven.

Therefore, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,
Let us lay aside every weight and sin which so easily beset us,
And run with patience, and run with patience the race that is set before us,
Looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith,
To Jesus, the author, the author, perfecter of our faith.

Hymn 237 – “O may we be still and seek Him…,”
Music: 14th century carol;
Lyrics by Fay Linn.

O may we be still and seek Him, 

Seek with consecration whole, 

Listening thus to hear the message, 

Far from sense and hid in Soul.

He hath promised we shall find Him, 

Love divine its promise keeps; 

God is watching with the watchful, 

God is Life that never sleeps.

If we pray to Him in secret, 

Lift to Him the heart's desire, 

We shall find our earthly longings 

All made pure by Love's pure fire.

Then upon the precious metal 

God's own image will appear, 

Faithfully to Him reflected, 

One with Him forever near.

Feed My Sheep
text by Mary Baker Eddy
music by Ann Stephan

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.

Feed My Sheep
Words by Mary Baker Eddy
Music by Katrina Wylie

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.
