AN ADMONITION
(Given by the Spirit through Mrs. E. F. Shupe at the district conference held at Denver, Colorado, February 23, 1919. The music for this song is Long Meter. It can be set to No. 8 in the Saints' Hymnal.)
Come, oh, my people, come to me,
Let all your works with faith agree;
Show that my law, my word, is true;
Come heed my counsel unto you.
Study my word; my law proclaim,
Which brings salvation unto man,
And let your conduct ever be
With this true law in harmony.
Let not the Evil One persuade
Some other way than this can save;
For he who know your every need
His gospel gave, that you might live.
Tho' rough the way, and hard your lot,
Be patient still, and murmur not.
In my own due time you shall be free,
If you but closely follow me.
Where'er you are, where'er you go,
In every time of weal or woe,
His promise true is just the same.
Oh! Then may we adore his name.
For he who died, that we might live,
Will unto you his spirit give
To guide, direct, and comfort bring,
Lift up your heads, his praises sing.
Saints' Herald, May 14, 1919.
