33 And ye must practice virtue and holiness before me continually. Even so. Amen.
Sonnet 799 D&C 46:33
Most things take practice to improve at all
The skills in others we admire so
Do not appear by simple beck and call
But rather by the force of practice grow.
Perhaps to play piano or the flute
And make pure melodies through constant care
Is not so diff'rent from the special route
That leads to virtue, holiness and prayer.
The Savior of the world even grew
And waxed strong in the spirit and was wise
Thus learning by the grace of God to do
The mighty works required to win His prize.
So pick a virtue, practice it, and tell
How holiness can grow when practised well.
