Bades, Earl A., Sr. Lord, Bless These Words, More Truth Than Poetry, “Nature’s Sermons” 1994, pg. 84. With nature’s panoramic change, As seasons pass us by; We see beauty in all that’s strange; In earth or sea or sky. We never cease to wonder; How the bird can build its nest; Or why a flower’s loveliness; Seems to give the soul its rest. Let us doubt God’s plan no more; And come to realize; There are wondrous sermons over all the world - right before our eyes! Volume 43, Number 1 July 2005
