Breaking through the clouds of darkness

Photograph by Steve Ryf

Breaking through the clouds of darkness,   Black with error, doubt, and fear;Lighting up each somber 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.

Truth, will melt away the shadow and reveal the celestial peaks

Photograph by James Scott

Corporeal sense, or error, may seem to hide Truth, health, harmony, and Science, as the mist obscures the sun or the mountain; but Science, the sunshine of Truth, will melt away the shadow and reveal the celestial peaks.
