"THE SONG OF MOSES"

From the March 1962 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"I Will sing unto the Lord, for he hath  triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea" (Ex. 15:1). These words are from what is known as the song of Moses. After the demonstration of their protection and deliverance at the very beginning of their release from bondage to the Egyptians, the Israelites were inspired to go forward singing. Frequent songs and singing are recorded in the Scriptures from that time, and today we often express our gratitude and devotion to our heavenly Father by singing hymns, as well as in many other ways.

Mrs. Eddy writes in Science and Health (p. 234), "Whatever inspires with wisdom, Truth, or Love—be it song, sermon, or Science—blesses the human family with crumbs of comfort from Christ's table, feeding the hungry and giving living waters to the thirsty."

To Christian Scientists, the Christian Science Hymnal is often found very near the Bible and the works of Mrs. Eddy, for they do not confine their hymn singing to their church services. They recognize and utilize the beauty and power of the hymns to heal and bless at any time.
