The Only Reality

HYMNS
 

Hymn #367

Walk in the light, so thou shalt know

That fellowship of love

His spirit only can bestow

Who reigns in light above.

Walk in the light, and thou shalt find

Thy heart made truly His,

Who dwells in cloudless light enshrined,

In whom no darkness is.

Walk in the light, and thou shalt own

Thy darkness past away,

Because that light on thee hath shone

In which is perfect day.

Walk in the light, and thou shalt see

Thy path, though thorny, bright;

For God by grace shall dwell with thee,

And God Himself is Light.
 

Hymn #206

O God, our Father-Mother, Love,

Purge Thou our hearts from sin,

That in Thy radiancy divine

We may with eyes undimmed define

Thy will, reality.

O God, our Father-Mother, Truth,

Send forth Thy light sublime,

That in its pure and cleansing rays

We may, with thought attuned to praise, Behold reality.

O God, our Father-Mother, Life,

Reveal in us Thy might,

That henceforth we may live to Thee,

In all our ways reflecting Thee,

And know reality.

Hymn #482
God created us in His own image,
All the universe is His creation too;
He created us as His reflection,
Filling us with wisdom, bold and true.

Life is made for living to the fullest,
Spirit made us knowing who we truly are,
Knowing how to see reality,
Pure and innocent and free,
Made in the likeness of our God.

REFRAIN
This clear view of man is perfect,
Seen in all the radiance of light;
Here we find our nature revealed,
Spiritual and whole in God's sight.

Everything our Master Jesus taught us
Showed the way to love each other dearly,
When he healed the sick and freed the sinner,
Seeing them in God's own light so clearly.

As we gain the perfect understanding
That eternal Mind is the All-in-all,
We shall come to see reality,
Pure and innocent and free,
Made in the likeness of our God.
