“Heroes of the Scriptures,” Friend, June 1998, 14
Heroes of the Scriptures
1. I want to be like Noah,
Obedient to the Lord,
Courageous like Queen Esther
And Ammon with his sword.
Like Ruth, I would be faithful.
Like Moses, I’d be true.
Examples in the scriptures
Can teach me what to do.
2. I want to be like Daniel
And stand up for the right;
Like Joseph Smith, seek wisdom
In prayer for heaven’s light.
Sariah’s strength on journeys
And Alma’s change of heart
Inspire me to choose wisely,
Repent, and do my part.
3. I want to be like Mary,
Rejoicing in the truth;
Like Samuel and Moroni,
Who listened in their youth.
Examples in the scriptures
Can help me to become
Obedient, brave, and holy—
More like God’s perfect Son.
