Lyrics - "Truth Reflects Upon our Senses"
Truth reflects upon our senses;
Gospel light reveals to some.
If there still should be offenses,
Woe to them by whom they come!
Judge not, that ye be not judged,
Was the counsel Jesus gave;
Measure given, large or grudged,
Just the same you must receive.
Jesus said, "Be meek and lowly,"
For 'tis high to be a judge;
If I would be pure and holy,
I must love without a grudge.
It requires a constant labor
All his precepts to obey.
If I truly love my neighbor,
I am in the narrow way.
Once I said unto another,
"In thine eye there is a mote,
If thou art a friend, a brother,
Hold and let me pull it out."
But I could not see is fairly,
For my sight was very dim.
When I came to search more clearly,
In mine eye there was a beam.
If I love my brother dearer,
And his mote I would erase,
Then the light should shine the clearer,
For the eye's a tender place.
Others I have oft reproved,
For an object like a mote,
Now I wish this beam removed,
Oh, that tears would wash it out!
Charity and love are healing;
These will give the clearest sight;
When I saw my brother's failing,
I was not exactly right.
Now I'll take no further trouble;
Jesus' love is all my theme;
Little motes are but a bubble
When I think upon the beam.

Lyrics - "The Lord Imparted from Above"
The Lord imparted from above
The "Word of Wisdom" for our blessing,
But shall it unto many prove
A gift that is not worth possessing?
Chorus
O, that the Saints would all regard
Each gracious word that God has given.
And prize the favor of the Lord
Above all things beneath the heaven!
Have we not been divinely taught
To heed its voice, and highly prize it?
Then who shall once indulge the thought,
It can be better to despise it?
Has self denial grown a task?
Or has that word been vainly spoken?
Or why, I fain would humbly ask,
Why is that word so often broken?
