. . . wherefore, the course of the Lord is one eternal round.
First Nephi. Chapter Ten. Verse 19.
Beyond the track of time, outside the bounds of date,
The Lord presides in peace, and knows His children’s fate.
His caring, watchingful eye is blinded by no years.
He reaches through the veil to quiet all our fears.
We wait upon the Lord, with timely prayers and thoughts,
But Satan steals our days with pleasures so ersatz.
Or worries snatch the moment away from blissful rest,
And prodigal we waste the weeks by always being stressed.
The ticking of the clock and the beating of my heart,
The seasons of the earth that so vainly I do chart;
Oh Lord, the stream of time help me to counteract,
With faith that there is joy beyond each cataract!
