O Father God we glorify You
And praise Your goodness
That You have graciously manifested
Yourself to us anew,
And has led us together, Lord,
To admonish us through Your Word
Give us grace for this.
From the Ausbund, First Hymn
O Father God we glorify You
Flying is not an option.
Pray not for crutches but for wings.
Excuses are disguises.
“How shall I feel at the judgment, if multitudes of missed opportunities pass before me in full review, and all my excuses prove to be disguises of my cowardice and pride?”
