The Science-thought is pure and free;
It whispers low and sweet to me,
"How good to dwell in unity."
From Life and Love this angel flew
To quicken, happify, renew;
Each may re-prove the message true.
From such to all the world, this Mind
Still moving on its errand kind,
Reveals the blessed ties that bind.
There is no life apart from Good.
Man cannot change this if he would;
And this is Science, understood.
God is the Father and the Mother.
Beside Him, never was another.
Love God, and one does love the brother.
The universe is Life and Love;
Oh! how this lifts the thought above,
As daily inspirations prove.
A grander song was never sung;
Ne'er higher tone in harmony, rung;
Nor truer human heart-chord, strung.
Man no more doomed as error's clod;
His origin, above the sod,
Unfolds—the glorious Son of God.
Richer than any wealth in mine,
Purer than golden rays that shine;
SCIENCE and HEALTH—our gift divine.
This word to man, has Science brought.
This, the grand lesson Science taught;
This, the Love burden so long sought.
In Unity then let us dwell,
Our highest happiness to tell,
That Truth which doeth all things well,
And brings the Church of Christ to light,
And quickens even mortal might
To serve the Good—because 'tis Right.
