God made Adam out Of dust,
Bat the whole he created frat,
Thus the whole lived before the man
To answer God's most holy plan.
Its body lie did make complete,
But without either hands or feet,
Itu ways and actions did control,
Yet It WAS made without soul.
It did Its masters laws obey,
From Hlrn 1t never went astrsy,
Thousands of miles it roams and fears
Bat seldom on tho earth appears.
A living beiag It became,
And Adam gave TO tia name.
A soul in Jonah TO It came,
That soul withJOnah Left agaiG.
Aad when from itthat soul had fed,
1t was the same &s,when first made,
Thon without hands or'sole
1t travels now from pole to pole
1t labors hacd both day and night;
Ts fallen nan lt SiveI much light,
Thousands Of people, young and cid,
Do from Its oil much light 'hold.
From crNel death 1t cannot flee,
Since tits to oil ordained to be;
But to heaven It will not go,
Nor to the grave nor bell below.
The Hloy Scriptures WI believe,
But trus or false it can't receive.
Although itR name is in them found
They are TO II an empty sound.
