CHORUS True to the faith that our parents have cherished, True to the truth for which martyrs have perished, To God's command, soul, heart, and hand, Faithful and true we will ever stand. (Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Hymn #254. By Evan Stephens) "Carry On" Firm as the mountains around us, Stalwart and brave we stand, On the rock our fathers planted, For us in this goodly land-- The rock of honor and virtue, Of faith in the living God. They raised his banner triumphant, Over the desert sod. (Chorus) We'll build on the rock they planted, A palace to the King. Into its shinning corridors, Our songs of praise we'll bring, For the heritage they left us, Not of gold or of worldly wealth, But a blessing everlasting, Of love and joy and health. CHORUS And we hear the desert singing: Carry on, carry on, carry on! Hills and vales and mountains ringing: Carry on, carry on, carry on! Holding aloft our colors, We march in the glorious dawn. O youth of a noble birth-right, Carry on, carry on, Carry on! (Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Hymn #255. By Ruth May Fox)
