Enos - Words of Mormon

Enos

Knowing that my father was a just man 

He’d taught me of the the Lord and of His plan 

I’ll tell you of the wrestle with God I had 

To get my sins remitted, and find Him, glad

While hunting beasts, his words sunk in my heart

Concerning life eternal, with saints a part 

With hungry soul I kneeled fore my maker 

I cried in mighty prayer, divine partaker

All day long I cried, into the night

Forgiveness mine, guilt swept away, made bright 

Thy faith in Christ, unseen, hath made thee whole 

And turned thy heart unto thy brothers soul 

With those of old, a hope for their salvation 

Bring forth a record for their preservation

Jarom 

I write as a commandment of my father 

A little bit, of our prophecies not bother

For what can I write more than has been written 

Salvations plan revealed, already put in

But much is done among this hardened people 

Whose deafened ears can’t hear, whose minds are feeble 

For those that soften neck and heart, communion 

With the Holy Spirit and God reunion 

The prophets pricked their hearts and they did see

With faith, exhorting them continually

Forward to the Christ they turned their view 

Believe as though He’d come already too

We multiplied and grew, we filled the land 

Protected by the promise fathers had

Omni

Generations pass in Omni’s book

From father down to son 

Writing of their wars and peace

In God the victories won 

They speak of King Mosiah's reign 

He fled from Nephi’s lands

Unto Zarahemla’s step 

Uniting scattered bands

Learn of another people, who

Had come out from the tower 

Scattered on the northward land 

Their bones the dust devour 

Mosiah’s son, King Benjamin 

A just man of the Lord

Protects the record handed down 

To bring forth the word 

Words of Mormon 

Reaching back from future days

Words of Mormon come

Abridging all the records made

And hundredth of the sum

The things most precious to his soul

Are kept within this book

Testifying of the Christ

Salvation if we look

Benjamin, the righteous King

With all his soul and power

Established peace upon the land

An end to wars devour
