He Sent His Son

How could the Father tell the world of love and tenderness?
He sent his Son, a newborn babe, with peace and holiness.
How could the Father show the world the pathway we should go?
He sent his Son to walk with men on earth, that we may know.
How could the Father tell the world of sacrifice, of death?
He sent his Son to die for us and rise with living breath.
What does the Father ask of us? What do the scriptures say?
Have faith, have hope, live like his Son, help others on their way.

The Holy Ghost

When Christ was on the earth,
He promised he would send
The Holy Ghost to comfort us,
Our true, eternal friend.
The Holy Spirit whispers
With a still small voice.
He testifies of God and Christ

The Iron Rod

  1. To Nephi, seer of olden time,
    A vision came from God,
    Wherein the holy word sublime
    Was shown an iron rod.
  2. (Chorus)
    Hold to the rod, the iron rod;
    'Tis strong, and bright, and true.
    The iron rod is the word of God;
    'Twill safely guide us through.
  3. 2. While on our journey here below,
    Beneath temptation's pow'r,
    Through mists of darkness we must go,
    In peril ev'ry hour.
  4. 3. And when temptation's pow'r is nigh,
    Our pathway clouded o'er,
    Upon the rod we can rely,
    And heaven's aid implore.
  5. 4. And, hand o'er hand, the rod along,
    Through each succeeding day,
    With earnest prayer and hopeful song,
    We'll still pursue our way.
  6. 5. Afar we see the golden rest
    To which the rod will guide,
    Where, with the angels bright and blest,
    Forever we'll abide.

Families Can Be Together Forever

  1. I have a fam’ly here on earth.
    They are so good to me.
    I want to share my life with them through all eternity.
  2. Fam’lies can be together forever
    Through Heav’nly Father’s plan.
    I always want to be with my own family,
    And the Lord has shown me how I can.
    The Lord has shown me how I can.
  3. 2. While I am in my early years,
    I’ll prepare most carefully,
    So I can marry in God’s temple for eternity.
  4. Fam’lies can be together forever
    Through Heav’nly Father’s plan.
    I always want to be with my own family,
    And the Lord has shown me how I can.
    The Lord has shown me how I can.

Love One Another

As I have loved you,
Love one another.
This new commandment:
Love one another.
By this shall men know
Ye are my disciples,
If ye have love

Come Follow Me

  1. "Come, follow me," the Savior said.
    Then let us in his footsteps tread,
    For thus alone can we be one
    With God's own loved, begotten Son.
  2. 2. "Come, follow me," a simple phrase,
    Yet truth's sublime, effulgent rays
    Are in these simple words combined
    To urge, inspire the human mind.
  3. 3. Is it enough alone to know
    That we must follow him below,
    While trav'ling thru this vale of tears?
    No, this extends to holier spheres.
  4. 4. Not only shall we emulate
    His course while in this earthly state,
    But when we're freed from present cares,
    If with our Lord we would be heirs.
  5. 5. We must the onward path pursue
    As wider fields expand to view,
    And follow him unceasingly,
    Whate'er our lot or sphere may be.
  6. 6. For thrones, dominions, kingdoms, pow'rs,
    And glory great and bliss are ours,
    If we, throughout eternity,
    Obey his words, "Come, follow me."

Tell Me the Stories of Jesus

  1. Tell me the stories of Jesus I love to hear,
    Things I would ask him to tell me if he were here.
    Scenes by the wayside, tales of the sea,
    Stories of Jesus, tell them to me.
  2. 2. Oh, let me hear how the children stood round his knee.
    I shall imagine his blessings resting on me;
    Words full of kindness, deeds full of grace,
    All in the love-light of Jesus’ face.
  3. 3. Tell me, in accents of wonder, how rolled the sea,
    Tossing the boat in a tempest on Galilee!
    And how the Master, ready and kind,
    Chided the billows and hushed the wind.
