Our “new song is joy,” the promise of “the light of life” and infinite possibilities that are forever ours as God’s children.

Sing to God
He is listening to you
He hears your voice
sweet and kind
humble, gentle, and patient
and above all new.

Soul placed the melody –
the hymn of praise
to your creator –
in every fiber of your immortal being
for “the mortality of man is a myth” 1
the old song is left in the dust
in which you do not dwell
oh child of the infinite Holy One –
spiritual!
immortal!
unfallen!

Your new song is joy.
Joy in following the light of Christ
walking no more in darkness.
You have the light of life.

Immortal man,
you have Science-revealed
glorious possibilities.
Arise, shine –
“sing unto the Lord a new song.” 2

1 Mary Baker Eddy , “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” pp. 545-546
