ARK PSALM

ARK PSALM (Mosiah 3:9; Moroni 9:9; for Virtue 1)

Most dear and precious of all things –
Most pleasing tenderness –
A golden ensign on a hill –
A type of endlessness –

The banner for the pure in heart –
A shawl of chastity –
The veil of Virtue’s timeless joy –
A cloak of charity –

A mantle made of miracles –
A garment delicate –
The wedding robe of righteousness
Is plain yet intricate.

A likeness – A similitude –
An altar, table, throne –
The body is a covenant –
He came unto His own.
