1 ‘T was by an order from the Lord
The ancient prophets spoke his word;
His Spirit did their tongues inspire,
And warm their hearts with heavenly fire. MIM 105.5
2 Great God! mine eyes with pleasure look
On the dear volume of thy book;
There my Redeemer’s face I see,
And read his name who died for me. MIM 106.1
3 Let the false raptures of the mind
Be lost and vanish in the wind;
Here I can fix my hope secure;
This is thy word-and must endure. MIM 106.2
