Wow.
Babylon Bee, in its usual sharp parodic style, "reports" on a Mormon space mission aimed at Kolob, the planet nearest to God's throne in LDS beliefs. The article mentions that the flight was accompanied by the LDS hymn If you could hie to Kolob.
I found the hymn, expecting an 1880-ish bit of creaky crankery.
Nope. This is a hymn that Newton could have written. Except for the mention of Kolob, it's a hymn for scientists**. Set to Kingsfold, with its simple unresolved lines uniquely appropriate for the precise depiction of eternity.
= = = = =
** Needless to say, I DO NOT MEAN MODERN "SCIENTISTS". They have their own blasphemous hymn with a blasphemously similar flavor, explicitly glorifying fashionable omnicidal lies and anti-science psychotic delusions.
