Against Nature's chime! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
To His celestial consort us unite, To live with Him, and sing in endless morn of light A pure song of life shared.

O may we soon again renew that song, And keep in tune with heaven, till God ere long To His celestial concert us unite, To live with Him, and sing in endless morn of light!
I love Fathers
