A hymnal published by Unity School of Christianity, Kansas City, Missouri, the organisation Charles and Myrtle Fillmore founded in 1889 that grew into one of the New Thought movement's largest institutions. A copy is catalogued in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Music Library's Don Yoder Collection of American Hymnody to circa 1920; an independently catalogued listing of the same title on Hymnary.org, the scholarly hymnody database, records 183 hymns and dates on internal evidence to about 1926, and names tune attributions including Charles Fillmore's own. The two records most likely represent successive printings of the same hymnal rather than a single fixed edition, but both agree on its publisher.
