Exodus 19:5-6
5
Now
therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant,
then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for
all the earth is
mine:
6
And
ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These
are
the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
Sonnet
688 Exodus 19:5-6 (#2)
On
Sunday in the pews and wide awake
Reviewing
and renewing by degree
Commandments
and the covenants we make
The
Church is where the saints of God should be.
In
harmony and hope throughout the week
Our
hearts and hands united in the plea
To
care and bless and be among the meek
The
Church is where the saints of God should be.
In
meetings or in visits or in class
In
songs of praise or quiet bended knee
To
see beyond this world's darkened glass
The
Church is where the saints of God should be.
A
treasure seeker's solemn guarantee -
The
Church is where the saints of God should be.
