| 421 Poetry Inspired Writings
Revelations now coming forth, Judah's writing and Joseph's too,
Are sublime and eternal truth; Each testifies the other's true;
In them Jehovah's voice proclaims, They teach the same when searched thro'.
This is my church, enroll your names. Believe them both, we're bound to do.
The word of wisdom's a sure guide The Lord hath said "I'll make them one,
To all who do the same abide; As I command let it be done;
Its promises are very great. For a short work I now will make,
Though I the same need not relate. And Israel from the heathen take."
Enbalmed [Embalmed] records, plates of gold, "To their own lands on mountains high,
Glorious things to us unfold; I'll bring them with a watchful eye;
Though sealed up they long have been, To them the kingdom I'll restore
To give us light they now begin. And be their king forever more.
Long since to Daniel God did say, The book of Jasher has been found,
"Seal up the book and go thy way: And many more hid in the ground;
For many shall be purified, All these, with Enoch's book, unfold
By sacrifice they shall be tried." And spread true light from pole to pole.
A noble man of ancient birth Those things are true we testify,
Beheld the same spring from the earth; And all who do with them comply,
And many more in visions saw Will in eternity rejoice,
The books which now contain the law. That they have made so wise a choice
Samuel Brown.
The Storm Calmed.
Tis darkness all! no star appears And soon that ship must be a wreck:
Upon the dusky brow of night; But who is this that lies asleep,
No moon the anxous [anxious] watcher cheers, While all besides in anguish weep?
Nor charms him with her gentle light
While one small ship, its sails are riven, The stranger wakes from his repose
Abides the furious blasts of heaven. And eyes the storm with looks serene,
He speaks; the list'ning water flows
Loud and more loud the billows roar, Calm as in Eden's peaceful scene!
And dash the white foam o'er the deck; The winds his high commands obey,
The storm is fiercer than before; And in soft whispers die away.
