Perfect Husband

Who can find the perfect husband?

A man of noble character—

His worth beyond measure?

A man who inspires our full confidence,

and brings us good, not harm, all our days?

There is One . . .

Though not handsome or wealthy

He is the answer to all our longings.

From early childhood He learned scriptures;

He taught with wisdom and authority.

From His earthly father He learned carpentry

He spoke with His heavenly Father intimately—

long talks, even in the middle of the night.

He gave up glory in heaven and came to earth

To prepare His Bride

for an eternal, glorious life together with Him.
