The Golden Book

There from the ancient times was a golden book Written for all men to read On it is hung the life's truth as though a hook Having the power to satisfy one's greatest need How its teachings are ever infallible Straightening the path that is crooked And its precepts being indisputable Changing the course of the wicked It speaks of the wonders of creation And the surpassing beauty of nature It is to the heart a spiritual illumination By which man understands the heavenly culture In it are found the words of eternal message That gives the soul its needed freedom And through it is one informed of his glorious passage Unto God's adorned kingdom
