Sävel kaukaa kirkkauden maasta riemuitsevin kielinhaasta. Soios sieluun, joss' on tuska ankee, niinkuin päivän sädesade lankee autiolle maalle läpi häivän, kirkastaos hetki elonpäivän, sille, jolla harmaa arki aina on, joka uupunut on alla painon … Vapahdusta kuolonvarjon maasta riemuitsevin kielin puhu, haasta!
