Obeying the Truth.

By Elizabeth M. Casey

I OFT am led to ask my God, The reason he has chosen me, Among the millions of the earth, His glorious, precious truth to see.

While in deep sorrow and distress, While hungering for the truth of God, He did my longing spirit bless, With light and glory from his word.

And this I plainly saw revealed, The seventh is the Sabbath-day, The fourth commandment is its shield; And it shall never pass away.

Six days shall all thy work be done, From labor must the seventh be free; The seventh is the holy one, In memory, saith the Lord, of me.

God's law is good, and just, and pure, And long as here on earth we stay, If we would endless life insure, We must its righteous claims obey.
