PURITY

From the February 1929 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Our Father, humbly now we come to Thee,
Yearning to reach the plane of purity,
Seeking the way those other students trod
When Jesus taught them to commune with God.

Let us not lightly breathe this prayer of Soul,
But touch its depths profound, so that the goal
Of sinless sense be sighted and attained,
And Soul's reflection pure be unrestrained.

Forgive our debts! Eliminate all sin,
That we may conscious be of grace within,
Of Spirit's fullness infinitely stored,
Regenerating holiness outpoured.

So shall we sing a sweeter, louder song
Of joyous praise for victory over wrong,
Acknowledging that ever present good
Reigns in our consciousness—is understood.
