# To the Latter-Day Saints

<!-- page:383 -->

BY MISS E. R. SNOW.

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; and as one star differeth from another star in glory; so also is the resurrection of the dead."-Paul.

Straight is the gate, and narrow is the way that leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."-Jesus Christ.

The trials of the present day, What though by some who seem devout,

Require the saints to watch and pray, Our names as evil are cast out,

That they may keep the narrow way If honor clothe us round about

To the celestial glory. In the celestial glory.

For even saints may turn aside, Be steadfast, and with courage hold

For fear of ills that may betide, The key of God's eternal mould

Or else induc'd by worldly pride, That will the mysteries unfold

And lose celestial glory. Of the celestial glory.

O'er rugged cliffs, and mountains high, O, let your hearts and hands be pure,

Through sunless vales the path may lie, And faithful to the end endure,

Our faith and confidence to try That you the blessing may secure

In the celestial glory. Of the celestial glory.

Why should we fear, though cowards say With patience cultivate within

Old Anak's host in ambush lay, Those principles averse to sin,

Or there's a lion in the way And be prepared to enter in

To the celestial glory. To the celestial glory.

Fear not, though life should be at stake, Then let the "Times and Seasons fly,

But think how Jesus, for our sake And bring the glorious period nigh,

Endur'd, that we might yet partake When Zion will be rais'd on high

Of the celestial glory. In the celestial glory.

We here may sometimes suffer wrong,

But when we join with Enoch's throng

We'll loudly echo vict'ry's song

In the celestial glory. Morley Settlement, Nov. 24th.
