Hymn 261

From The Christian Science Hymnal, 1932 edition

One holy church of God appears
Through every age and race,
Unwasted by the lapse of years,
Unchanged by changing place.

From oldest time, on farthest shores,
Beneath the pine or palm,
One unseen presence she adores,
With silence or with psalm.

Her priests are all God’s faithful sons,
To serve the world raised up;
The pure in heart her baptized ones;
Love, her communion cup.
