1. Have you pondered where you’re going,Whence you’ve come, or why you’re here?Have you wondered who createdFriends and strangers far and near?God, the Father of Creation,Is the author of the plan,And his work of exaltationIs the reason it began.
2. We cannot in life be perfect,Yet we can each day progress.Learning to increase our talents,God will ev’ry effort bless.Those who seek to hide their talentsWill not gain the greater prize,But eternal life is givenTo the faithful and the wise.
3. Long before the Fall in Eden,God our Father had a plan—He would turn this first transgressionFor the good and joy of man.Through the gift of Christ, our Savior,He would manifest his love.This redemption was presentedIn the council up above.
4. More than any worldly pleasure,Life eternal I would own.Righteous effort, consecration,These are seeds that must be sown,Till that morning, when in beauty,All God’s plan will be revealed,And this mortal life of provingWill to life eternal yield.
