The Royal Telephone
Frederick M. Lehman, 1919
Central's never "busy," always on the line;
You may hear from heaven almost any time;
'Tis a royal service, free for one and all;
When you get in trouble, give this royal line a call.
Refrain:
Telephone to glory, oh, what joy divine!
I can feel the current moving on the line,
Built by God the Father for His loved and own,
We may talk to Jesus through this royal telephone.
There will be no charges, telephone is free,
It was built for service, just for you and me;
There will be no waiting on this royal line,
Telephone to glory always answers just in time.
Fail to get the answer, Satan's crossed your wire,
By some strong delusion, or some base desire;
Take away obstructions, God is on the throne,
And you'll get your answer through this royal telephone.
If your line is "grounded," and connection true
Has been lost with Jesus, tell you what to do:
Prayer and faith and promise mend the broken wire,
Till your soul is burning with the Pentecostal fire.
Carnal combinations cannot get control
Of this line to glory, anchored in the soul;
Storm and trial cannot disconnect the line,
Held in constant keeping by the Father's hand divine.

Anita, absolutely gorgeous macro of this stunning Easter Lily! I can just savor its nectarous aroma, even through the screen! What a beautiful herald of our Risen Savior. He truly communicates His love and majesty through creation, and you have certainly done an exemplary work capturing this glorious beauty in creation! F/L

Thank you so much Brian! The title came from a song sung at worship services. Some of the lyrics, "Telephone to glory, oh, what joy divine! I can feel the current moving on the line, Built by God the Father for His loved and own, We may talk to Jesus through this royal telephone." The Royal Telephone - Frederick M. Lehman, 1919
