William W. Phelps’ Poetic Treatment of D&C 76

I love this.

At times I wonder how I have missed anything as precious to me now as W. W. Phelps’ poetic treatment of the Doctrine and Covenants Section 76.

Times and Seasons, Vol. 4, No. 6, pp.82-85.

A Vision

1. I will go, I will go, to the home of the Saints,
Where the virtue’s the value, and life the reward;
But before I return to my former estate
I must fulfil the mission I had from the Lord.
