\nBloss’ming meadow, flashing sea,
\nChanting bird and flowing fountain
\nCall us to rejoice in Thee.<\/p>\n

\nEver blessing, ever blest,
\nWellspring of the joy of living,
\nOceandepth of happy rest!

\nTeach us how to love each other,
\nLift us to the joy divine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
