Publisher's Synopsis
Hymns about God Hymns are poems about God, of such great significance that they tend to become sung for the splendor of the vistas they convey, or the depth of the prayer that is invoked by them. But what do the poems tell us? Do they inspire songs of such purity that they touch the infinite? Many do. Some come close. Often familiar terms are used to glorify God, such as the terms Lord, Father, and Mother. While these terms should be seen by their spiritual signification, the spiritual significance is often overshadowed by the terminology that renders God with attributes that are inherent in the sphere of mortal-mind. This book is a book of spiritual poems of the text of the hymns of the Christian Science hymnal. A number of spiritual concepts have been inserted into the poems. The concepts have been developed in Christian Science by Mary Baker Eddy, as core concepts that have the potential to take the reader above the anthropomorphic perceptions of God to the infinite, incorporeal, spiritual sense of the All-in-all deific Presence.
