(Tune: "Admonition")

Hearken, oh, my covenant people,
'Tis "I AM" that speaks to thee,
And your prayers and testimonies
Have ascended unto me.

In times past, have I not blest thee
With a measure of my grace?
And my hand is not now shortened
But will guide you safely through.

Yea, though trials and temptations,
By my Spirit, I will be
Your salvation, shield, protector,
Till the dawn of perfect day.

Lift, then, up your heads, my people,
Cling more closely unto me.
By the measure of your service
I will measure unto thee.

Be ye not disturbed, me people,
By the rumors that you hear,
Though through darkness some may falter,
Multitudes my work will hear.

Zion's beauty shines before you,
Beckoning that you forward go,
Will ye heed my loving counsel,
And by deeds my purpose show?

Swift destruction waits the heedless,
Who my work have tried to thwart,
Having grieved my loving Spirit
Heedless of the things I've taught,

Why, then, will ye linger longer?
I, your Savior, call for thee,
Come, oh, come, where peace and pardon
Offer joy so full and free.
