"Orders in Holy Trust"

With two orders each bound in holy trust.
Distinct quorums create, in council stand.
The voice of saints gives weight to rule at hand.
From Adam flows ancient lines is a must.

Three will now preside as their voice as one.
And Twelve will bear the weight of this nation.
Seventy will go out in their station.
Quorums are a balance for all to run.

The people's voice secures each call in teams.
Faithful, righteous, meek hands will guide each helm.
When pride takes root, power fades in that realm.
Heaven's rule is only by gentle means.

The voice of God, a whisper, now resounds,
Through these meek servants, on eternal grounds.

Other lines not used:
The higher brings crowns of eternal kings.
The lesser guards the gate at the surface.
With each office marks a path of service.
Each holds keys that unlock all hidden things.

 "Zion's Humble Rise"

A council stands on twelve who hold the line.
Each voice speaks truth, with balance held in trust.
Their unity defends what’s fair and just.
The Spirit moves where sacred paths align.

Though Zion weeps, the light begins to grow.
Obedient hearts prepare to take their stand.
The prophet calls to gather faithful band.
The Lord of Hosts protects from every foe.

No steward claims what none were meant to own.
They settle debts with hands weighed true and clean.
The poor are blessed, and Zion’s wealth is seen.
Each act of care is seed that Zion’s sown.

When hearts unite, the temple flame will rise.
Peace crowns the land where humble souls are wise.

Echo and the Tower

"The Echo of Christ’s Law"

An echo sounds of Christ: “turn thou the cheek,”
Balance comes first—uphold the Lord’s command.
Be never first to strike, but patient stand,
Forgive, seek peace, show mercy to the weak. 

Stand first with law, exhaust the rightful way, 
The second, and the third—still hold thy ground. 
When all is done, and justice is not found, 
Then lift thine arm in strength if foes still stay. 

Prove thou thy soul by Christ’s pure spirit led, 
If violence persists though peace was tried,
Protect thy life, thy home, thy loved ones’ side, 
Secure the gifts for which thy fathers bled. 

Thus patience rules till God reveals His sign: 
Forgive three times; beyond, His law is thine. 

"The Vineyard and the Tower"

The Nobleman prepared a choice estate, 
Twelve olive trees were planted by His hand.
A hedge He ordered, watchtower to command,
That watchmen guard the vineyard from its fate. 

But servants murmured: “What need have we now? 
The labor’s great, the time is not yet near.” 
Their tower stood unbuilt, with hearts in fear, 
And foes crept in, destroying every bough. 

The Lord wept sore: “What more could I have done? 
My vineyard wasted through neglect of mine.” 
Yet still He calls His people to align, 
To gather strength until the work is won.

Zion shall rise when saints obey the call;
Build up the tower, and God will guard it all.

 "Zion in Our Hearts"

Zion rises first in hearts, not just a place.
A society built on holiness.
For it's not brick and mortar that will guess.
Humble bonds win the spiritual race.

Zion's temples are to instruct, and pray.
For the learning flows freely to protect.
A shine from eternal schools, you'd expect,
This light emits as if it's a relay.

Obey God's command are the pure in heart.
Deceit, pride and rebellion will scatter.
Obey to protect from any clatter.
A citadel against the storm, is smart.

Let hearts arise, and build with love each part;
Go forth and guard the Zion in your heart.

Other lines:

Unshaken, the faithful will make it's stand,
Order and justice are at the core root.
Forming branches of Zion's light en route,
Thriving when divine order is in hand.
Trusting and righteous are essential part.
Effort shown with unity to commit.
To uphold the covenant, every bit.
Blessings will come to those with a kind heart.
