“Music: When I Hear of Pioneer Children,” Friend, July 2016, 33
When I Hear of Pioneer Children
When I hear of pioneer children,
Of trials and courage and faith,
I want to be willing as they were
To look to the Lord for my strength.
I’ll follow the prophets as they did,
For I want to build Zion too!
I’ll try to have faith to do hard things
When that’s what He needs me to do.
When I hear of pioneer children,
I want to be strong for my day.
I’ll try to keep all the commandments
And be a true Latter-day Saint.
I’ll stand as a shining example
That others who follow will see,
I’ll be like those pioneer children;
The Lord is depending on me.
