“Knowledge,” Ensign, Apr. 1986, 31
Knowledge
To know God,
the man Moriancumer
pled God give light to man
by touching stone.
Moses sought God
beside a burning bush,
climbing ancient Horeb
to find the key to holiness.
To become holy,
the ancients plied faith with
sacrifice, trusting the Redeemer
to save them from their sins.
The Mediator of the covenant
lit the night for Enos and Jacob,
touched stone for the man
who fled from Babylon,
And spoke from glowing branches
to the man who fled from Egypt;
showing that darkness seeks its own
and seekers of light can know the Holy One.
To remember him
we lift the bread, the cup, our hearts,
praying, as the ancients did,
that we might know him.
