For Homesickness...

Lake Wobegon Hymn Lyrics - From a broadcast on: Saturday, April 19, 2008

Morning light, soft and bright, Wobegon reveals; Early frost lies across Farm and woods and fields. Coffee done, I'll have some. Step outdoors alone. Look around, sit me down On a slab of stone. By the barn, cattle turn Murmur in the pen. Strong and pure cow manure, I know where I am, I know where I am. I am home again.

Precious Lord, by our word Simple gifts are blest Creatures all, great and small, Heav'nly love express. Love and faithfulness. Let the promise of salvation Come by daily observation In this farmyard, Lord. Be with us. My old dog takes his walk, Sniffing ev'ry tree. Ev'ry smell seems to tell His biography. Chickens dash 'cross the grass, Cats patrol the yard. Seven geese marching east Form an honor guard. Then a small trumpet call Ringing to the skies. Three loud barks—ARF, ARF, ARF! Wake up and arise.

Be in paradise,

Be in paradise.
