74. Sons and Daughters, Heirs of Promise, Hear and Heed Your Savior’s Voice
So long ago you heard His voice,
Then cast your vote with God’s First Son.
Endowed with strength from righteous choice,
With Father’s might, a battle won.
Oh wondrous gift, this plan of love,
Whereby each soul has mortal life.
You left your holy home above,
To win this test of sin and strife.
Children, hear the voice of He,
Who gave His life, who would forgive.
Recall the vow made at His knee,
His love you’d share, His laws you’d live.
Noble children, virtue’s crown,
Share His pure gospel with your kin.
Valiant heirs of truth renowned,
Cast out all doubt, His faith to win.
Sons and daughters, heirs of promise,
Seek each day your Savior’s voice.
As infants in a mortal home,
Your earthly parents sought God’s aid.
To raise His children as their own,
With trembling hearts they daily prayed:
“Grant us grace for every hour,
Keep us from error, guide our path.
Save each from temptation's power,
That each one earn all that Thou hath. ”
Children, hear the voice of He,
Who gave His life that you might live.
The Father heard your parents’ plea,
And through His Son, His aid did give
Noble children, virtue’s crown,
Share His pure gospel with your kin.
Valiant heirs of truth renowned,
Forsake the world, His praise to win.
Royal daughters, righteous sons,
Hear each day your Savior’s voice.
Now other voices join the din,
And strive to lead you from the right.
An enemy your souls would win,
Your faith he’d crush with fear’s bleak night.
To win such trials, you must recall that
Voice you heard so long ago.
With humble heart you must seek all
The courage that Christ will bestow.
Children, hear the voice of He
Who gave His life, as you must give.
Recall the sacrifice of Eve;
And Adam’s love; their will to live.
Noble children, virtue’s crown,
Share His pure gospel with your kin.
Valiant heirs of truth renowned,
Embrace His word, and glory win.
Earnest daughters, faithful sons,
Heed each day your Savior’s voice.
Today, your own must find the path
Of virtue undefiled by greed.
If you would see their garments cleansed,
His endless patience you will need.
Behold, His light’s Millennial rays,
Invite you take a grander view.
And as you serve Him all your days,
The world around, saints serve Him too.
Children, hear the voice of He
Whose servants call you to the fight.
To preach His word, you came to be.
To harvest souls, seek you His might.
Noble children, virtue’s crown,
Share His pure gospel with your kin.
Valiant heirs of faith renowned,
His kingdom teach, and kingdoms win.
Sons and daughters, heirs of promise,
Share each day your Savior’s voice.
