PERHAPS, by                    
First Line: He spoke of sound-thin waves of sound
Last Line: The men of galilee!
Subject(s): God; Jesus Christ - Life And Ministry; Radio; Sound


He spoke of sound—thin waves of sound
That fill the vibrant air;
Of how the ear of man is tuned
To catch what it can bear.
And, then, he said, "The mind of man,
With curious intent,
Has gone beyond the simple laws
That rule the firmament,
And in its flight beyond the clouds
Where stars and comets go,
The mind of man, with keen delight,
Invented radio."

The ear of man attuned to catch
A clear celestial strain,
May gather back on waves of sound
Some precious lost refrain;
May reach beyond the silent stars
That guard the purple sea,
And catch the voice of Him who taught
The Men of Galilee!
