TESTIMONY OF FAITH

From the March 1895 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"We (ye) also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ."—1 Peter 2:5.

AS living stones, hewn for Love's Edifice;
An holy priesthood, sanctified to Good:
Mid prayers that rise, like incense to the skies
We build the Temple of the living God.

Upon the altar's consecrated pile,
We offer up, what should be sacrificed
And test our faith, with naught that would defile
The Urim-Thummim of the Church of Christ.
