Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound

I once was lost
But now I’m found

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind

Should auld acqaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne

We’ll meet again some other night
For auld lang syne

A psalm of David

When I behold your
heavens, the work of
your fingers,
the moon and stars
that you set in place:

What is man
that you have been
mindful of him,
mortal man
that you have taken
note of him,

That you have made
him little less
than the angels and
adorned him with
glory and majesty…

From Psalm VIII

That best portion of of a good man’s life—
his little nameless unremembered acts of kindness and of love
