He dreamed a dream to flee the land 
With trust and faith he did obey
In wilderness of desert sand 
Dwent in a tent, his head to lay

Laman and Lemuel knew not God 
Or of His dealings here with man 
They lacked the faith to hold the rod 
Doubtful, thinking no one can

But Nephi cried unto the Lord 
Received a softening of the heart 
So he believed his fathers word
And holding fast, would not depart

A cursing for rebellions seed
A blessing given to those who heed
