Hymns by Mary Baker Eddy

Christian Science Hymnal

First published in 1898, the Christian Science Hymnal contains traditional Christian hymns, and well as hymns unique to Christian Science. A number of hymns are arrangements of seven poems written by Mary Baker Eddy.

The following is a list (in alphabetical order) of the poems by Mary Baker Eddy. These poems are in the public domain. If you are interested in other poems in the Christian Science Hymnal, you may obtain one at any Christian Science Reading Room, or you may purchase a copy on-line.

You may listen to the music for one arrangement of each hymn. The recordings were made at the First Church of Christ, Scientist in Ridgefield, CT.

The hymns are played by Chuck Thatcher, who was formerly the organist at the Ridgefield church. The music is provided for your personal enjoyment, and is copyright © 1994 by Chuck Thatcher. Used by permission. All Rights Reserved.

Enjoy additional organ music played by Chuck Thatcher following the hymns by Mary Baker Eddy.

Note: Each hymn is available in RealAudio and Windows Media format. If you need a player for RealAudio, I recommend the Real Alternative. Also, to read the poems, you need to enable JavaScript. (In Internet Explorer, this means "Allow Blocked Content") I promise nothing bad will happen to your computer.   sigh...

If you enjoy listening to the music, please feel free to drop me a note.
