Evening Contemplation

Tonight Michelle and I were thinking of how much God has blessed us. If you know either of us, you will know that both Michelle and I have a deep passion for beauty in music and beauty in God's creation. Both can wondrously give definition to God's great glory and majesty. Although God has not given us much for earthly possessions, He has provided for our enjoyment a new surround sound system from Michelle's brother, Paul (thanks Paul, you're the best). He has also provided the Tetons out our front door as an ever present reminder of His great might and power. We feel truly blessed!

Tonight we are listening to Chloe Agnew sing "Panis Angelicus". Michelle sang this song at her senior recital in college, however, she sang them with an English translation, which tonight is our prayer.

O Lord Most Holy
(Panis Angelicus)
by Cesar Franck

O Lord most holy
O Lord almighty
Father compassionate
We bring to thee our praise

Help us to know thee
Know thee and love thee
Father, Father grant us thy truth and grace
Father, Father guide us and defend us.

Rule in our willful hearts,
Guide thou our wand'ring thoughts.
In all our sorrows let us find our rest in thee.

And in temptations hour,
Save by thy mighty power
Thy help send us; Hear us in Mercy
Show thy favor, so we live and sing praise to thee!
