In contemplation of created things, by steps we may ascend to God.

Believe and be confirmed.

Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.

Yet I argue not Against Heav'n's hand or will, nor bate a jot Of heart or hope; but still bear up and steer Right onward.

Sometime let gorgeous Tragedy In sceptred pall come sweeping by, Presenting Thebes, or Pelops' line, Or the tale of Troy divine.

My heart contains of good, wise, just, the perfect shape.

Above the smoke and stir of this dim spot Which men call earth.
