For o,ur h,arvest safe inga 1 nhered, For our golden s 1 tore of wheat, For the bowers ,and the vinelands, For the flowers upspringing sweet, For our coasts ,from w•ant ;protected , For each inlet, river, bay, For Thy 1 bounty full and flowing, Take our praise this joyful day. For the hours when Heaven is nearesit And 1he earth~mood does not cling, For the very gloom oft broken By our looking for ,tJhe Kiing, By our ,thoug,ht 1 tha;t He iis here, For our courage on ·the way, Take, 0 Friend, unseen, eternal Praises this Thank giving Day. Limitations Timely . . . We only see a little of the ocean, A few miles di stance from ,the rocky shore; But, oh , out there beyond ihe eye's horizon , Around the dial of ,a clock in a church in Stra burg, Germany are ,these words : "One of ,the e hours the Lord i co,m~ng." There's more-there' more. We only see a little of God' Jove , A few rich treasures from Hi s mighty store; But, oh, ot1.t there beyond- beyond the life's horizon , There's more there's more. - unknown Weird Music ... ... •,• . .. .,.
