to joy, to gratitude!

Indulged the day that housed their annual grain,
With feasts, and off'rings, and a thankful strain.

may take or push away according to the whims of the moment,

individually and collectively. What was the seed of disintegration
that corrupted the heart of the ancient world beyond the
point of divine remedy...? What was it but ingratitude?
- Noel Smith
God is pleased with no music below so much as with the

of rejoicing, comforted, and thankful persons.
