...

Give me daily food and raiment,

In a Kingdom full of truth,

Grant the Spirit's consolation,

That that graced my "elder youth,"

In the realms of perfect freedom,

Where I scarcely knew "the rod,"

In the "infant school of glory,"--

In thy family, O God!

...

Call, O call me back to Kolob,

When the resurrection's pass'd!

For I love my Father's garden--

Where the first will be the last:--

Where I promised in my childhood,

To be born,--(the second birth)

So, to try the gift of passion,

On a mission to the earth.

O that infant-spirit wisdom,

Which my Father gave to me,

In his mansion with my mother,

As I sat upon her knee!--

Sacred records kept in "Teman,"

Till the flesh has conquered sin,--

By the Priesthood, faith and virtue,

Then I'll know them all again!
