Ears to Hear...Today's Song (and a funny video of my grandson's reaction to the snow!)

Where muffled footsteps fallEn route to find a perchTo revel in the madrigalIn nature’s perfect church... …to listen as we should(for time’s timing is keen)To sermons from the winnowed wood... That once stood, lush and green Snow-lovers are singing winter's praises this morning!🎜🎝🎝❄❄❄ (the video doesn't pick up the excited and what I am interpreting as happy tweet-tweets😊) other's not so much💖😂😂😂 Lord, grant us ears to hearThe melodies of lifeHelp us find today’s song, so dearFrom orchestras run rifeIn hush of morn beguiledBy rush of notes dusk quellsIn darling laughter of a child (or other sounds of a child😂)In chimes of Christmas bells Lord, give us ears to hearSacred commonplace laysThat kindle in the eye a tearAnd set heart-hearths ablazeThe tea, as it is pouredThe click of spoons in cupsSymphonies all ears can affordTo cheer life’s downs with ups The heave of billows borneOn time’s four-season tideThe brittle leaves in sheaves of cornSnow-truffled countrysideWhere muffled footsteps fallEn route to find a perchTo revel in the madrigalIn nature’s perfect church …to listen as we should(for time’s timing is keen)To sermons from the winnowed woodThat once stood, lush and greenTo treasure tenderlyThe timbre of ‘hello’Before the solemn harmonyOf final farewells flow Lord, give us ears to hearThe cries of those in needYour still, small Voice to counter fearAnd condemn lust and greedLord, grant us ears to hearBeyond the noise of strifeThe tempo of love’s songs so dearTuning the joys of life © Janet Martin He who has ears to hear, let him hear!Matt.11:15
