On this Fourth of July weekend, both the Sunday scriptures and an inscription on the base of the Statue of Liberty offer a haven, a refuge for the burdened and battered.
For more on the scriptures see the previous post. For more on the inscription, check here.
In the video, Irving Berlin provides the musical setting for this stanza from Emma Lazarus' poem:
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
