Immortal! Invisible!
Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
Walter Chalmers Smith
Immortal, invisible,
God only wise,
In light inaccessible
hid from our eyes,
Most blessèd, most glorious,
the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious,
Thy great Name we praise.
Unresting, unhasting,
and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting,
Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice, like mountains,
high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains
of goodness and love.
To all, life Thou givest,
to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest,
the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish
as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish--
but naught changeth Thee.
Great Father of glory,
pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore Thee,
all veiling their sight;
All laud we would render;
O help us to see
'Tis only the splendor
of light hideth Thee!
Amen

Formula For Setting Priorities
A note given to me by my sweet mother, stuck between the pages of my algebra book:
Formula For Setting Priorities:
If you want to succeed at the highest level you must learn to manage your life by sacrificing present pleasures for future benefits.

Thank God for mothers!
