Lyrics from Relief Society Song Book, 1919, no. 69

1. Where the voice of friendship’s heard,
Sounding like a sweet-toned bird;
Where the holy notes inspire
With devotion’s pure desire;
Where fond actions speak the soul:
Where true love doth all control;
Where the sons of God agree,
There may all the faithful be.

2. Where the weary find a home;
Where the wild deer fearless roam;
Where the mellow fruit-tree grows;
Where the golden harvest flows;
Where the bee, the grape and kine
Yield their honey, milk and wine;
Where the curse from earth shall flee,
There may all the faithful be.

3. Where the temple-block is laid;
Where no foe shall e’er invade;
Where the Priesthood’s pow’r shall claim
All that heav’n and earth can name;
Where the judge by justice rules;
Where the couns’llors are no fools;
Where the poor shall judgment see,
There may all the faithful be.
