Blessed is the soul that listeneth to the voice of
the Lord & from his own lips heareth the word
of consolation! Blesses are the ears that receive
the soft whispers of the divine breath and exclude
the noise & tumult of the world yea truly blessed
are they when deaf to the voice that soundeth
without they are attentive only to the truth
teaching within! Blessed are the ears that are
shut to material objects & open & fixed upon
those that are spiritual! Blessed are they that
examine the state of the internal man & by continued
exercises of repentance & faith prepare
the mind for a more comprehensive knowledge
of the truths of redemption! Blessed are
all who Delight in the service of God &
who that they may live purely to him
disengage their hearts from the cares and
pleasures of the world!
