The Song of the Pioneer

Cindy Lynn Ray, age 11

Press forward, saints of Zion,

So soon will we arrive,

We've defeated hate's great lion,

After righteousness we strive.

 

The Lord will be our captain,

Of an army ever brave,

Though all evil may happen,

The road we soon will pave.

 

The valley waits for us, men,

The freedom of Salt Lake,

We shall praise the Lord then,

And no temptations take.

 

So let us be as righteous,

As the saints of old,

Satan cannot touch us,

For we'll be brave and bold!
