ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Since knowing Thee unsealed the fontWhere slept the muted wordAnd with Thy gracious wakeningThe slumbering Muses stirredUntil a mighty miracleOf rhythmic song occurred—Since knowing Thee unsealed this fontOf joy so long deferred,My life has been as sweet a songAs man has ever heard.
