The Heavens are Close

The heavens are, oh, so close
Via the Holy Ghost
As such- much, through prayer, will impart
If faith burns warm within the heart

For, as we know, God is the Father
And our Savior is Jesus the Christ
Our testimony of all three will gather
Unto strength and courage in this life!

Let the rivers, brooks, and rills
Flow down with gladness, telling us of our King
Let the solid rocks weep to thrill
As the sun, moon, and morning stars, also sing

Midst kingdoms, principalities, and powers in reign
Let all the sons of God be devout
While eternal creations declare His name
And the valleys and mountains cry aloud

How glorious is the voice that we hear
Calling from heaven above
Proclaiming the great day does near
Offering eternal happiness and love

The coming of the Lord is at hand
Who will abide that day prepared?
Those who remain here to stand
Will show the vast records of their dead

Let us go oft unto the temple
There to give the Lord an offering
Let us go as a righteous people
To be purified by His suffering

What will be worthy of all acceptation
But the Book of Life fully completed
With the sons of Levi purged for salvation
As the refiner's fire for glory is heated


D&C 128:23-24
