Service is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this earth. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time.
~ Shirley Chisholm
Let candles burn, both warm and bright,
Which to our darkness Thou has brought,
When we are wrapped in silence most profound,
May we hear that song most fully raised
From all the Unseen World that lies around
And Thou art by all Thy children praised.
Night and morning, You are by us faithfully
And surely at each newborn day.
