GuestS, glad to be of help. Where does your version differ from what Dale and I have come up with?

Dale,

Stanza 1, line 1 - I agree with that your 'both found' is correct, but still favour 'this filthy'.

Stanza 2, line 4 - I should have put 'old' there. I originally had them all as 'oh' and neglected to change that one to 'old'.

Stanza 3, line 4 - I originally had the 'but' and had second thoughts. BUT, you are right, there is a 'but'.

Stanza 4, line 1 - listening again this could be: 'He sprung out in the floor and in the light he wanted them to gaze'.

Stanza 4, line 3 - could well be a 'then' before 'seeing': 'being one of Christ's children then seeing'.

Stanza 5, line 3 - this remains a mystery. Hearing 'incense' was probably a product of my lost Catholic upbringing - the second half of the line now sounds to me like 'oh it's in (something) prayer'. I'll keep at it.

Stanza 5, line 4 - I reckon you are correct with 'I certainly want to go there'. There is nothing like hearing something clearly after someone has deciphered it for you.

Any other takers? Where are Sandy, Rick and other members of the Washington Phillips Appreciation Society? Sandy's probably pretty busy with his label's 40th celebrations, but this is sacred stuff relating to the master!
