Thank You, Nephi

1. Thank you, Nephi, for your words

that tell the story of your past,

the record of your wanderings,

engraved with care on plates of brass.

Thank you, Nephi. As a lad

you did not murmur or complain.

And when you had a task to do,

you listened to the Lord’s command.

2. Thank you, Nephi. Long ago

you stopped beside the sea’s warm sand.

While others laughed, you built a ship

to take you to the promised land.

Thank you, Nephi, for your faith.

You knew His plan; You taught His word.

Thank you, Nephi. All your days

you walked in truth, you loved the Lord.
