If All the Words that the Prophet's Spake by Helen Spencer Schlie

If all the words that the prophets spake

Were shouted aloud… would the people wake

To know the Gospel is restored to man

Divinely spoken, to be lived again

As it was long ago in this great land



This Word was spoken in the days before

Thus it was given to men of yore

Whose hearts were afire

And whose lives were inspired

To do all things that the Lord required



To a chosen few the Gospel comes

With the sound of trump, and the roll of drums…

But rather it is, in a still small way

In the dark of night…. or the dawn of day

When you look at your soul with an honest heart

Led by the Spirit…and encouraged

to start up the road to God’s Kingdom…

and a way of Life

Above and beyond this earth’s dark strife

Glimpsing Eternity, and the joys of love

We’ll share with Our Father in the realms above



It is my prayer that the Saints will be

A living example for the world to see

No words speak louder than the deeds we do

The Gospel is spread….by me…by you

So...Rise up…My Brothers and Sisters all

WE must answer the Spirit’s call

And say with Christ…God’s Holy Son

“Not my will…but Thine be done”
