John 4:5 (to 2nd ,),6 (to :),7,9-11,13-21,23 (to :),28,29

5Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar,

6Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well:

7There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

9Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

10Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

11The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

13Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

14But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

15The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

16Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

17The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

18For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

19The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

20Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

21Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

23But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth:

28The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,

29Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

Benediction:
I Pet 3:8 be ye,9

8be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

9Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

From the Christian Science Hymnal:
Hymn 404: “O do not bar your mind Against the light of good”
Hymn 255: “O'er waiting harpstrings of the mind There sweeps a strain”
Hymn 168: “Let all the earth with songs rejoice; Let heaven return the joyful voice”



Solo:
"Search me, O Father." The words are from the Psalms, and the music by Antonin Dvorák.
