Hymn Medley




(black text is the original lyrics; all yellow highlights are things I am commenting on;All blue text are my thoughts and are my opinions only and do not represent the official position of the speaker, author or the church.)

Go Forth With Faith

Go forth with faith Go...act...but with faith
to tell the world  Of Jesus Christ, the Lord. He is the focus of our message
Bear witness he is God's own Son; Got to open your mouth, too
Proclaim his wondrous word .Praise publicly his saving message
Go forth with hope and courage strong hope that people will accept; courage to keep going even if they say no
To spread the word abroad far and wide; but next door too
That people of all nations Are children of our God. take down the walls that divide us


Go forth with love to tell the world love for Heavenly Father and Jesus
The joy of families--
That we may be with those we love Thru all eternity. temples!
Go forth to serve and do your best Serve the Lord by serving others

With no thought of reward; This can be a hard one for there is a reward...
Then you shall know the boundless joy for He has no end Of serving Christ, the Lord. when ye are in the service of others...


Go forth with pow'r Priesthood power
to tell the world The gospel is restored, So there are saving covenants and ordinances available to help you return to your Father in Heaven
That all may gain eternal life no one is left out
Thru Jesus Christ, the Lord. There is no other name or way...
Go forth to preach his glorious truths brilliantly beautiful saving enabling knowledge!
Of peace, of joy, and love,He is the "Prince of Peace" but not "of the world's" kind; We "are" that we might have joy; "Charity is the pure love of Christ"
That all who heed his holy word It is not enough to "know" his word, we must "do" it.
May praise the Lord above. "When we receive any blessings...it is by obedience to the law upon which that blessing is predicated" - blessings cause us to express gratitude!


D&C 42:6 When you act with the Spirit you can declare His word "like unto the angels of God" 

Matthew 24:14
The gospel will be preached in "all the world". We are to assist in that work.


As Sisters in Zion

As sisters in Zion, we'll all work together; or it wouldn't be "Zion"
The blessings of God on our labors we'll seek."I can do all things through Christ"
We'll build up his kingdom with earnest
endeavor; "to seriously and consistently try/work out something with because it's seriously important"
We'll comfort the weary and strengthen the weak. we'll keep our covenants!


The errand of angels is given to women; "to do the direct and immediate bidding of our Father in Heaven" (watch this short video to understand better how to be an "angel")
And this is a gift that, as sisters, we claim: seek and claim Spiritual Gifts
To do whatsoever is gentle and human,
To cheer and to bless in humanity's name. this is what "a covenant keeping daughter of God" is like; what she does


How vast is our purpose, how broad is our mission, boundless and extensive
If we but fulfill it in spirit and deed. It is not just about the acts but the spirit in which we go about them.
Oh, naught but the Spirit's divinest tuition when we know our teaching and promptings come from God, we have the faith and courage to act promptly
Can give us the wisdom to truly succeed. true success is understanding the importance of where and how we spend our time; in the pursuit of worldly success or in the service of our God via the service to our fellowman

"May you have an eternal perspective as you go about your angelic cause of doing good so that it will not only lead you to become great women but ultimately to become queens in the eternities"
(Elder Faust New Era, March 1999, p. 4).

Galatians 6:2, 9-10 Bear one anothers burdens; be not weary in well-doing; cease the opportunities to do good

D&C 11:12-14
12 And now, verily, verily, I say unto thee, put your trust in that Spirit which leadeth to do good—yea, to do justly, to walk humbly, to judge righteously; and this is my Spirit.

13 Verily, verily, I say unto you, I will impart unto you of my Spirit, which shall enlighten your mind, which shall fill your soul with joy;

14 And then shall ye know, or by this shall you know, all things whatsoever you desire of me, which are pertaining unto things of righteousness, in faith believing in me that you shall receive.
