Mormon Pioneer Day

“It is not enough to study or reenact the accomplishments of our pioneers.
We need to identify the great, eternal principles they applied to achieve
all they achieved for our benefit and then apply those principles to the
challenges of our day. In that way we honor their pioneering efforts, and we
also reaffirm our heritage and strengthen its capacity to bless our own
posterity and those millions of our Heavenly Father's children who have yet
to hear and accept the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are all pioneers in doing
so.”
-
Dallin H. Oaks,
“Following
the Pioneers,”
Ensign, Nov. 1997, p.72
(b. 12 Aug 1932) |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
We try to

- 07/23/13:
Three
absent minded writers were busy discussing a writing project
on the platform, while waiting for the train. The
announcement was made, and the train finally arrived. There
was complete panic among eagerly waiting passengers as the
train made its way to the platform. Passengers rushed inside
the train, and the train left. However, one of the writers
was not able to catch the train in the confusion.
A passerby who saw all this came up to the writer and told
him not to worry and catch the next available train.
The
writer replied, “I am not worried for myself, but the real
problem is that I was the one who was suppose to catch the
train, and the two of them who went on the train, actually
came to see me off.”

Come, Come, Ye Saints
"This hymn
text was written by William Clayton, who was inspired by the existing hymn 'All
Is Well' and his experiences traveling to Utah as one of the Mormon Pioneers.
They, the early members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
gathered from around the world and walked across the American plains to find a
new home in the West where they could live their religion without persecution.
They settled and colonized much of what is now the state of Utah and although
the bitter persecution of the past has, for the most part, been replaced with
understanding and respect, for members of the Church throughout the world the
hymn 'Come, Come Ye Saints' continues to represent their heritage of faith and
sacrifice."
Words by
William Clayton
, April 15, 1846
(1814 - 04 Dec 1879)
Music: English
Folk Song
Come, come, ye
Saints, no toil or labor fear;
But with joy wend your way.
Though hard to you this journey may appear,
Grace shall be as your day.
'Tis better far for us to strive
Our useless cares from us to drive;
Do this and joy your hearts will swell —
All is well! All is well!
Why should we mourn or think our lot is hard?
'Tis not so; all is right.
Why should we think to earn a great reward
If we now shun the fight?
Gird up your loins; fresh courage take.
Our God will never us forsake;
And soon we'll have this tale to tell —
All is well! All is well!
We'll find the place which God for us prepared,
Far away in the West.
Where none shall come to hurt or make afraid;
There the Saints will be blessed.
We'll make the air with music ring,
Shout praises to our God and King;
Above the rest these words we'll tell —
All is well! All is well!
And should we die before our journey's through,
Happy day! All is well!
We then are free from toil and sorrow, too;
With the just we shall dwell!
But if our lives are spared again
To see the Saints their rest obtain;
Oh, how we'll make this chorus swell —
All is well! All is well!
