          Come Gracious Spirit ~  Lyrics        

Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Love,
With light and comfort from above;
Be Thou our guardian, Thou our guide,
O’er every thought and step preside.

The light of Truth to us display,
That we may know and choose Thy way;


Plant holy joy in every heart,
That we from Thee may ne’er depart.

Lead us, O Christ, thou living Way,
Nor let us from thy precepts stray;

                         Some Key Points 
1. Focus ~ #1 of the 6 religious tenets of Christian Science ~ As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal life. 
2. Genesis 1:1 to Genesis 2:3 ~ The verses in this range include the spiritual record of creation/revelation ~ the spiritual unfoldment of the entire universe ~ including all of its spiritual contents, which includes GENERIC MAN which begins in verse 26.
3. The first 25 verses of Genesis 1 provides the spiritual unfoldment of everything except generic man.
                      Generic Man Defined  
1. Beginning with verse 26, is the spiritual record of generic man. God said, let us make man in our image after our likeness, & let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, & over the fowl of the air, & over the cattle, & over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.           

2. It Includes all of the qualities normally thought to be, for example, a combination of:
a. Male ~ strength & courage
b. Female ~ tenderness, kindness & the nurturing qualities of a mother
c. Children ~ innocence & trusting
3. Both men & women prefer the complete generic man as described above. Circumstances dictate which qualities are the correct ones to be reflected at specific times.
           Let Generic Man into Consciousness 
1. The all important word, LET, could easily be translated to mean ~ in order to experience being the real generic man, we must open our consciousness & permit it to permeate our every concept of man. IF WE DO THAT ~ then we can look forward to the description following in the next verse. 
2. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him, male & female created he them, & God blessed them. GENERIC MAN is, what is being referred to.
                 Generic Man given Dominion 
1. God said unto them, be fruitful, multiply & replenish the earth & subdue it over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
2. God said, behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth, & every tree which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed & to you it shall be for meat, and for every beast of the earth wherein there is life. God saw everything that he had made & behold, it was very good.
