1. Have you pondered where you’re going, Whence you’ve come, or why you’re here? Have you wondered who created Friends and strangers far and near? God, the Father of Creation, Is the author of the plan, And his work of exaltation Is 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 talents Will not gain the greater prize, But eternal life is given To the faithful and the wise.

3. Long before the Fall in Eden, God our Father had a plan— He would turn this first transgression For the good and joy of man. Through the gift of Christ, our Savior, He would manifest his love. This redemption was presented In 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 proving Will to life eternal yield.
