The Message
There is no voice but it is born of MeI am there is no other God beside
Before Me all that live shall bow the knee
And be as in a fiery furnace tried
Warn them for I have told thee of my love
Bid them prepare my supper to attend
Thou has heard him who cometh from above
Let them receive thee for I am your friend
Though they have scorned the servants that I sent
Year after year within each stubborn breast
Let them give back the vineyard I have lent
Them yet another year to find my rest
And sent my son let them thy word receive
And in The Christ that in thee speaks believe.
Poem No. 628; fall 1838–summer 1839
