Eternal Holiday

Tune the ears of my heart
to hear the melodious strains
of everlasting festivity
in the presence of God
in the joyous face of God
in the house of God
mysterious, sweet holy music
dulcet alleluias
only my hushed spirit can hear.

Let not the vain world
the love of the world
the things of the world
the clamor of the world
with its enchanting allurements
and siren charms
bombard my delicate ears
 to drown the sacred song
of the angelic choir
magnifying the majesty of God
making eternal holiday.
