i thank You God for most this amazing day Dan Forrest b. 1978 i thank You God for most this amazing day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes (i who have died am alive again today, and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth day of life and love and wings and of the gay great happening illimitably earth) how should tasting touching hearing seeing breathing any-lifted from the no of all nothing-human merely being doubt unimaginable You?

Wer nur den lieben Gott läßt walten Felix Mendelssohn (If thou but suffer God to guide thee), MWV A 7 1809–1847 I. Chorale My God, You know best of all what is good and useful for me. Away with all human existence, away with all that humanity constructs. Grant, Lord, that I rely on You alone, and that I put my trust entirely in You. II. Chorus Who only lets dear God rule and hopes in Him at all times, God will wondrously support in every torment and sorrow. Whoever trusts in God, the Almighty, has not built upon sand. III. Aria He knows the right time of joy, He knows well, when it is necessary; If only He has found us faithful and detects no hypocrisy, then God comes, before we are aware of Him, and allows much good to befall us. IV. Chorale Sing, pray and walk in God's ways, just carry out your ways faithfully and trust in heaven's rich blessing, then it will be renewed in you; for whoever places his confidence in God, God will never abandon.
