Hold up your light so that it may shine unto the world. Behold, I am the light which ye shall hold up--that which ye have seen me do.
Today
Ope your vision to the day
no more to sin, find the way.
Your heavenly king would implore,
his holy precepts to adore.
Trust in His counsel, to you by choice,
listen to His words, learn His voice.
A matter of time would you find
the way back home, no longer roam.
His son the savior should you choose,
in your warfare will not lose.
Kindly deeds and truthful labor
will increase your heavenly favor.
Study, prayer and fasting lending
waits for judgement yet impending.
Hear this counsel while today,
heedless wandering comes the fray.
