A Planted Seed

A planted seed swelleth
And beginneth to grow
Will much good soon sprouteth?
I desire to know

If it be a good seed
If it be a true seed
I will not cast it out
If it expand the mind
If it expand the soul
It will dispell my doubt

A nourished tree springeth
As it taketh to root
Will branches soon spreadeth?
I desire sweet fruit

Patience, long suff'ring
With increased diligence
I won't neglect to wait
Pure above all that's pure
Sweet above all that's sweet
Fruit's the reward of faith

- Alma 32:30-31
