7. To a Chosen Generation
To a chosen generation,
Have come plates of golden truth.
And from forbearers long forgotten,
Comes a call to valiant youth.
Prophets whisper from the dust,
With words of promise long thought lost.
And they bid you seek your Savior,
Without thought of worldly cost.
They now whisper, hear them whisper,
These are calls from those thought lost.
To a final dispensation,
Comes a power great and rare.
By Divine administration,
Comes a call to preach and share.
God’s own power, by His priesthood,
Bids you love and learn and serve.
Righteous souls in every nation,
Seek for blessings long preserved.
Serve with honor, give God honor,
For choice blessings He’s preserved.
To those called by revelation,
Comes a charge to teach God’s truth.
With companions from all nations,
You are sent while in your youth.
Feel the mantle of Christ’s Spirit,
As it tutors you to care
For your chosen generation,
Who seek God through righteous prayer.
They are seeking, hear them seeking,
For the Lord through righteous prayer.
