Hymns: 190, 422, 92

Hymn 190
My God, my Father, make me strong,
When tasks of life seem hard and long,
To greet them with this triumph song,
Thy will be done.

With confident and humble mind,
My joy in service I would find,
My prayer through every task assigned,
Thy will be done.

Things deemed impossible I dare,
Thine is the call and Thine the care,
Thy wisdom shall the way prepare;
Thy will be done.

Heaven's music chimes the glad days in,
Hope soars beyond death, pain and sin,
Faith sings in triumph, Love doth win;
   Thy will is done.

Hymn 422
Grace for today, O Love divine,
Thee to obey and love alone;
Losing the mortal will in Thine,
Find we a joy before unknown.

Grace for today, Thou Love divine,
Famishing hearts and hopes to feed;
Blot out all fear, let Thy light shine
With tender warmth on all our need.

Grace for today, Thou Love divine,
Patient of heart his way to trace
Whose pure affections Thee define
   In tender love and perfect grace.

Hymn 92
Happy the man who knows
His Master to obey;
Whose life of love and labor flows,
Where God points out the way.

Rising to every task,
Soon as the word is given,
He doth not wait nor question ask
When orders come from heaven.

God's will he makes his own,
And nothing can him stay;
His feet are shod for God alone,
And God alone obey.

Give us, O God, this mind,
Which waits but Thy command,
And doth its highest pleasure find
   In Thy great work to stand.

Bible
Ps 40:5, 7-10   
5  Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

7  Then said I, Lo, I come. 8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
9  I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.
10  I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

Ps 143:7 -10   
7  Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8  Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9  Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10  Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

Prov 3:5,6   
5  ¶ Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Luke 11:2   
2  And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.  Thy kingdom come.  Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

John 5:30,31   
30  I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
31  If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

John 4:31-35   
31  In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32  But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
33  Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
34  Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35  Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

Matt 7:13,14   
13  ¶ Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

I John 2:15-17   
15  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.  If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17  And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Luke 22:39-47 he came   
39  he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
40  And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41  And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42  Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43  And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
44  And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45  And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
46  And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
47  ¶ And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.

I Pet 2:1,2,9 ye are,15 so  
1  Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2  As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

9  ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

15  so is the will of God, that with well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

Rom 12:2 be not,3,5 we,10-18,21   
2  be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3  For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

5  we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

10  Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
11  Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
12  Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
13  Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
14  Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15  Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16  Be of the same mind one toward another.  Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate.  Be not wise in your own conceits.
17  Recompense to no man evil for evil.  Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18  If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

21  Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Matt 12:50   
50  For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Eph 5:1,2 (to 2nd ,),14-17,19,20   
1  Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2  And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us,

14  Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15  See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16  Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

19  Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20  Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

I Thess 5:18   
18  In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Heb 10:35,36   
35  Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36  For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

John 6:38 I came,40 this   
38  I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

40  this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Isa 14:27 the   
27  the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

Isa 30:21   
21  And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Heb 13:20 the God,21 (to .)  
20  the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
21  Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever.


Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures
17:1-3 (to .)   
 1 Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

       Enable us to know, ? as in heaven, so on earth, ? God is
 3     omnipotent, supreme.


254:10   
                                                                    When we wait
   patiently on God and seek Truth righteously, He directs
12 our path. Imperfect mortals grasp the ultimate of spir-
   itual perfection slowly; but to begin aright and to con-
   tinue the strife of demonstrating the great problem of
15 being, is doing much.

454:18-21
18                                                             Love inspires,
   illumines, designates, and leads the way. Right motives
   give pinions to thought, and strength and freedom to
21 speech and action.

99:5-9   
                                                                        "Work
 6 out your own salvation with fear and trembling," says
   the apostle, and he straightway adds: "for it is God
   which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good
 9 pleasure" (Philippians ii. 12, 13).

202:3  
 3     The scientific unity which exists between God and man
   must be wrought out in life-practice, and God's will must
   be universally done.

23:27  
27               "Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief!"
   expresses the helplessness of a blind faith; whereas the
   injunction, "Believe . . . and thou shalt be saved!"
30 demands self-reliant trustworthiness, which includes spir-
   itual understanding and confides all to God.

109:28   
       Jesus once said of his lessons: "My doctrine is not
   mine, but His that sent me.  If any man will do His will,
30 he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or
   whether I speak of myself."  (John vii. 16, 17.)

168:17   
                                                            Are The divine
18 we to believe an authority which denies God's authority
   spiritual command relating to perfection, ? an authority
   which Jesus proved to be false? He did the will of the
21 Father. He healed sickness in defiance of what is called
   material law, but in accordance with God's law, the law
   of Mind.

11:22-31    
    We know that a desire for holiness is

  requisite in order to gain holiness; but if we Desire for
24 desire holiness above all else, we shall sac- holiness
   rifice everything for it. We must be willing to do this,
   that we may walk securely in the only practical road
27 to holiness. Prayer cannot change the unalterable
   Truth, nor can prayer alone give us an understanding
   of Truth; but prayer, coupled with a fervent habitual
30 desire to know and do the will of God, will bring us
   into all Truth.

3:12  
12     The Divine Being must be reflected by man, ? else
   man is not the image and likeness of the patient,
   tender, and true, the One "altogether lovely;" but to
15 understand God is the work of eternity, and demands
   absolute consecration of thought, energy, and desire.

241:24-27  
24                                                                            

 We should strive to reach the Horeb height where God is re-
   vealed; and the corner-stone of all spiritual building is
27 purity.

497:24-25 And (to ;)   
24          And we solemnly promise to watch, and pray for
   that Mind to be in us which was also in Christ Jesus;

183:21  
21               Divine Mind rightly demands man's entire obe-
   dience, affection, and strength. No reservation is made
   for any lesser loyalty. Obedience to Truth gives man
24 power and strength. Submission to error superinduces
   loss of power.

242:15   
15     Self-love is more opaque than a solid body. In pa-
   tient obedience to a patient God, let us labor to dis-
   solve with the universal solvent of Love the adamant
18 of error, ? self-will, self-justification, and self-love, ?
   which wars against spirituality and is the law of sin
   and death.

103:29   
       In reality there is no mortal mind, and conse-
30 quently no transference of mortal thought Thought-
   and will-power. Life and being are of transference
   God. In Christian Science, man can do no harm, for
 1 scientific thoughts are true thoughts, passing from God
   to man.

185:32   
       A patient under the influence of mortal mind is healed
 1 only by removing the influence on him of this mind, by
   emptying his thought of the false stimulus False
 3 and reaction of will-power and filling it with stimulus
   the divine energies of Truth.

192:27   
27     We walk in the footsteps of Truth and Love by follow-
   ing the example of our Master in the understanding of
   divine metaphysics. Christianity is the basis of true heal-
30 ing. Whatever holds human thought in line with unselfed
   love, receives directly the divine power.

33:18
18     When the human element in him struggled with the
   divine, our great Teacher said: "Not my will, but
   Thine, be done!" ? that is, Let not the flesh, The holy
21 but the Spirit, be represented in me. This struggle
   is the new understanding of spiritual Love. It gives all
   for Christ, or Truth. It blesses its enemies, heals the
24 sick, casts out error, raises the dead from trespasses
   and sins, and preaches the gospel to the poor, the meek
   in heart.

1:1   
 1     The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the
   sick is an absolute faith that all things are
 3 possible to God, ? a spiritual understanding of Him,
   an unselfed love. Regardless of what another may say
   or think on this subject, I speak from experience.
 6 Prayer, watching, and working, combined with self-im-
   molation, are God's gracious means for accomplishing
   whatever has been successfully done for the Christian-
 9 ization and health of mankind.

394:7-10   
                                   Knowledge that we Recuperation
   can accomplish the good we hope for, stimu- mental
 9 lates the system to act in the direction which Mind points
   out.

445:15   
15                                     You render the divine law of
   healing obscure and void, when you weigh the human in
   the scale with the divine, or limit in any direction of
18 thought the omnipresence and omnipotence of God.

22:14   
      If your endeavors are beset by fearful odds, and you receive
   no present reward, go not back to error, nor become a
   sluggard in the race.

261:32-1  
                            Good demands of man every hour, in
 1 which to work out the problem of being.

509:24  
24                                                          The periods of
   spiritual ascension are the days and seasons of Mind's
   creation, in which beauty, sublimity, purity, and holiness
27  ? yea, the divine nature ? appear in man and the uni-
   verse never to disappear.
