Cari,

Little did Herbert Kretzmer know as he penned the words to this oft sung musical classic, that he was writing a passionate missionary's inspiration in finding, teaching, calling others to repentance, and bringing them forth from darkness.

"There, out in the darkness
A fugitive running
Fallen from God
Fallen from grace
God be my witness
I never shall yield
Till we come face to face
Till we come face to face

He knows his way in the dark
Mine is the way of the Lord
Those who follow the path of the righteous
Shall have their reward
And if they fall as Lucifer fell
The flames
The sword!

Stars
In your multitudes
Scarce to be counted
Filling the darkness
With order and light
You are the sentinels
Silent and sure
Keeping watch in the night
Keeping watch in the night

You know your place in the sky
You hold your course and your aim
And each in your season
Returns and returns
And is always the same
And if you fall as Lucifer fell
You fall in flame!

And so it must be, for so it is written
On the doorway to paradise
That those who falter and those who fall
Must pay the price!

Lord, let me find him
That I may see him
Safe behind bars
I will never rest
Till then
This I swear
This I swear by the stars!"

I wish I had time to fully expound upon the lyrical intricacies, but I'll have to let my voice attempt to do it for me. Enjoy these performances, courtesy of Toronto/McConkie Productions, and have a fantastic week!

Lord let me find [them], that I may see [them], not behind bars, but in baptismal and temple white. Till then, I have no time to rest, and so I will never do so,

Con Affetto,

Anziano Toronto II
