    Oh, how lovely was the morning Radiant beamed the sun above. Bees were humming, Sweet birds Singing, Music ringing through the grove. When within the shady woodland Joseph sought the God of love. Humbly kneeling, sweet appealing Twas the boy's first uttered prayer When the powers of sin assailing Filled his soul with deep despair But undaunted still, he trusted In his heav'nly Father's care. Suddenly a light descended. Brighter far than noon-day sun, And a shining glorious pillar O'er him fell, around him shone. While appeared two heav'nly beings, God the Father and the Son.

Each of us had finished our respective live shots, and we stood in silence as shafts of sunlight beamed down between darkening clouds over the volcano. You're lucky, ... I have to head out of here tonight, but you get to live near this mountain. There isn't a place on Earth like it.
