POETRY,
For the Times and Seasons.
MY FATHER IN HEAVEN;
By Miss Eliza R. Snow
O my Father, thou that dwellest I had learn'd to call thee father
In the high and glorious place; Through thy spirit from on high;
When shall I regain thy presence, But until the key of knowledge
And again behold thy face? Was restor'd, I knew not why.
In thy holy habitation In the heav'ns are parents single?
Did my spirit once reside? No, the thought makes reason state;
In my first primeval childhood Truth is reason-truth eternal
Was I nurtur'd near thy side? Tells me I've a mother here.
For a wise and glorious purpose When I leave this frail existence-
Thou hast plac'd me here on earth, When I lay this mortal by,
And withheld the recollection Father, mother, may I meet you
Of my former friends and birth: In your royal court on high?
Yet oft times a secret something Then, at length, when I've completed
Whispered you're a stranger here; All you sent me forth to do,
And I felt that I had wandered With your mutual approbation
From a more exalted sphere. Let me come and dwell with you.
