Praise you Father!
Praise you Lord,
Ere and after
We've endured!Most of all,
Ere the Fall,There was nothing
To endure;
Only loving
Holy pure.Evil's start:
Satan's art.Sin sustains.
Works are vain!Now of your best
Plan for us,
Hope for the rest:
Glorious! April 2024 S M T W T F S 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Need a different heart or trade language?
