THE RESTORATION OF THE AARONIC PRIESTHOOD

 

“Upon you my fellow servants”

John the Baptist said

As he laid his hands upon

The two good men’s heads

And gave to them a Priesthood

Filled with eternal power

For the Gospel was to be restored

And now was the appointed hour

That angels of God might minister

Unto them day and night

That they might know the truth

And guide others to the light

 

The gospel of baptism

And repentance of our sins

That all who follow in this path

May one day enter in

Our Father’s Holy Priesthood

Upon the earth again

That the Gospel might roll forth

A gift to all good men

 

 

Faithful Saints

With Faith in every footstep

The Saints of old did flee

Into the unknown west

To a place they could be free

Free from persecution

And oppression’s heavy hand

To the Rocky Mountains

To a promised land

A land where they could worship God

In their own pure way

A land where their children

Without fear could grow and play

To the Salt Lake valley far away in the West Looking back we plainly see these Saints of old were blessed Now in this lovely valley ‘Midst the mountains oh so high Where the clear streams flow and blue is the sky We look back on those who’ve gone before And thank the Lord above For surely he did lead them here In goodness and in love

 

 

I BELIEVE IN CHRIST

I believe in Christ
A very simple phrase
Yet herein lies the answers
To life’s most desperate days
He paid the price of pain and sin
And bid us all to enter in
That when we leave this world of strife
That we might have Eternal Life
I believe in Christ
What joy this phrase doth bring
The answer to our prayers
To urge our soul to sing
All things he suffered just for us
On Calvary’s hill he died
For all of us who live on Earth and overcome our pride
I believe in Christ
Such words of joy and love
Lead us to return
To his royal courts above
To live in exaltation
In celestial worlds abound
That all as a family
We will gather round
Yet oft we ask the question
What is required of me?
A still, small voice answers
Come Follow me
