Tears filled my eyes when I remembered that my sins had caused them;
but they were tears that Jesus wiped away,
"When I saw the book of remembrance at his side, I thought, there is
the record of my sins; but he opened it, saying, 'Fear not; from the
day thou first camest to me, they have been blotted out.' He then
held out to me the Book of Life, bidding me to read my name recorded
there, and added, 'Ages hence, in the great day of account, the
world shall know that I have saved thee; and as thou hast not denied
me before men, I will confess thy name before my Father and before
his angels; enter into the full joy of thy Lord; inherit the
kingdom, prepared for thee from the foundation of the world.' Then
all the blessed ones cried, 'Amen.' Their harps were tuned to a new
song, and they praised the living God that another soul was rescued
from the great adversary. A crown was also placed upon my head,
that, with the saints, I might cast it at the feet of the Redeemer.
"Afterwards I was led to our first parent, now for more than five
thousand years in Paradise, but not walking amid forbidden fruit.
