Breaking through the clouds of darkness,
Black with error, doubt and fear;
Lighting up each sombre shadow,
With a radiance soft and clear;
Filling every heart with gladness,
That its holy power feels,
Comes the Christian Science Gospel;
Sin it kills and grief it heals.
Christlike in its benedictions,
Godlike in its strength sublime,
Conquering every subtle slander,
With a meekness all divine,—
May it go across the ocean,
And be known in every land,
Till our sisters and our brothers,
All united in one band,
Raise to Heaven their glad hosanas,
For a world from sin set free;
And to God, the Heavenly Father,
Then subdued will all things be.
