HYMNS FOR SUNDAY-NOV 2, 2025

HYMN 118  -Brown Hymnal
Holy Spirit, Light divine,
Shine upon this heart of mine;
Kindle every high desire;
Cleanse my thought in Thy pure fire.

Holy Spirit, Peace divine,
Still this restless heart of mine;
Speak to calm the tossing sea,
Stayed in Thy tranquillity.

Holy Spirit, all divine,
Dwell within this heart of mine;
Bid my troubled thoughts be still;
With Thy peace my spirit fill.
(Christian Science Hymnal, No. 118:1–3)

HYMN 192 
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee:
E’en though it be a cross
That raiseth me;
Still all my song shall be,

REFRAIN
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I’d be

REFRAIN
There let the way appear,
Steps unto heaven;
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me

REFRAIN
Then, with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I’ll raise;
So by my woes to be

REFRAIN
Or if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly,
Still all my song shall be,

REFRAIN
(Christian Science Hymnal, No. 192:1–6)

HYMN: 15
As gold by fire is tested,
Its purity shown forth,
So cleansing fires of Truth may prove
To man his native worth.

And as a mirror shows us
A likeness clear and bright,
So God forever sees His child
Revealed in radiant light.

’Twas thus the loving Master
Saw man’s perfection shine,
Beheld God’s child forever pure
In radiance all divine.
(Christian Science Hymnal, No. 15:1–3)
