THE WAITING NOTE; DEDICATED TO PRESIDENT SUSAN MILLS OF MILLS COLLEGE, by                    
First Line: In the full celestial chorus
Last Line: Lay their worship at his feet.
Subject(s): God; Mills College, California; Religion; Worship; Theology


In the full celestial chorus
Lacks one strain that waits for me,
Note of that immortal measure
From earth's death-note ever free.
May I with my heart's own spirit
Catch that harmony divine;
Strike the chord with tone unerring,
Knowing it as only mine.

Mine with not a broken cadence;
Mine for God's eternal chime,
Keyed to heavenly diapason
When the worlds He swung in time;
In majestic majors swelling,
Mine where men and angels meet,
And the spheres in grand crescendo
Lay their worship at His feet.
