To my people now proclaim that my pardon waits for them! Tell them that their sins I cover, and their warfare now is over.” 2 For the herald’s voice is crying in the desert far and near, calling us to true repentance, since the reign of God is here. O, that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way. Let the valleys rise in meeting and the hills bow down in greeting. 3 Straight shall be what long was crooked, and the rougher places plain. Let your hearts be true and humble, as befits God’s holy reign. For the glory of the Lord now on earth is shed abroad, and all flesh shall see the token that God’s word is never broken.

Creator of the stars of night

Come, Follow Me

Author: John Nicholson, 1839–1909 Hymnal: Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints #116 (1985) Scripture: Matthew 4:19 First Line: "Come, follow me," the Savior said Lyrics: 1. “Come, follow me,” the Savior said. Then let us in his footsteps tread, For thus alone can we be one With God’s own loved, begotten Son. 2. “Come, follow me,” a simple phrase, Yet truth’s sublime, effulgent rays Are in these simple words combined To urge, inspire the human mind. 3. Is it enough alone to know That we must follow him below, While trav’ling thru this vale of tears? No, this extends to holier spheres. 4. Not only shall we emulate His course while in this earthly state, But when we’re freed from present cares, If with our Lord we would be heirs. 5. We must the onward path pursue As wider fields expand to view, And follow him unceasingly, Whate’er our lot or sphere may be. 6. For thrones, dominions, kingdoms, pow’rs, And glory great and bliss are ours, If we, throughout eternity, Obey his words, “Come, follow me.” Topics: Baptism; Exaltation; Jesus Christ Example; Jesus Christ Friend; Jesus Christ Savior; Obedience; Prayer and Supplication; Spirituality Languages: English Tune Title: INVITATION
