Thanksgiving and Prayer

What am I thankful for to-day?

Thanksgiving

We thank Thee, Father, Lord of all,For blessings sent before we call,For Life and Love that cannot cease,For strength and rest and joyous peace,For health and hope and better cheer,For knowing all is Thine, and here.

The demand for church

I like to think of each church that grows up in a community as that community's answered prayer for the presence of the saving Christ—the message of God's love for humanity.

O Make my life a light that glowsMore bright from day to day;That those who toil in lonelinessMay look and find Thy way!

"A little child shall lead"

A little child came up to me,And put his hand in mine;His heart was pure as it could be,His face with love did shine.

Be Still

God's love is everywhere; each smile and flowerIs Love's reflection on our path each day,Varying in brightness only as we pray,Differing only as we know Love's power.

He finds the virgin gold without alloyWho knows the heav'n-born joyOf unselfed deeds, who, having madeThe sacrifice where mortal self is laidWithin Truth's crucible and tried,Views imaged Love.

Dawn

"Until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.

"Forgive ... as we forgive"

When in my prayerForgiveness I implore from God on high,Then do I dareMy own forgiving set to measure by?

Mary Baker Eddy

When through the mists of time there shone on earthA beacon light from heaven's eternal day,A heart, made sensitive through suffering,Obeyed the call, and walked the narrow way.

Our Services

These royal feasts are spread by Love divine,Places prepared for each beloved child.

Angels

It may be they come in the morning,It may be they come in the night,It may be they come at the hour,Or come with the waning light;It may be they come when we 're watching,It may be they come while we sleep;But they come, oh, they come from the Father,Who ever His vigil doth keep!

A Lively Stone

Canst turn thy gaze from angry looksAnd know and see man undefiledAs Love's own image, God's own child?
