Texts of hymns 1-429 in the Christian Science Hymnal are presented in poetic format for easy reading and reference. The inspiring messages from these hymns bring healing, comfort, and joy. This volume is a helpful resource for First Readers and those who select and read hymns for church services. The Sterling Edition cover design uses photographs which are details from a stained glass window in the Original Mother Church edifice of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, MA. A first line index is included for your convenience.
