Hearken, Brethren

[Verse]
Hearken brethren hear me now
Words of light a solemn vow
Lord's command clear and true
One wife for life pure and new

[Verse]
In the silence heed my call
Among you none shall fall
Concubines cast them out
One love alone without doubt

[Chorus]
Wherefore brethren hear the Lord
Holy wisdom in accord
One wife only stands so bright
In the day and in the night

[Bridge]
No man shall stray from sacred path
To the end love’s holy wrath
Hearken now the word’s decree
Pure and loyal hearts set free

[Verse]
Brethren strong in faith we stand
Single bond by His command
One heart beats for one so dear
In His light we have no fear

[Chorus]
Wherefore brethren hear the Lord
Holy wisdom in accord
One wife only stands so bright
In the day and in the night
