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.
