Lyrics from Relief Society Song Book, 1919, no. 35

1. Lord, we ask Thee, ere we part,
Bless the teachings of this day,
Plant them deep in ev’ry heart,
That with us they’ll ever stay.

2. In the innocence of youth
We would all Thy laws fulfull;
Lead us in the way of truth,
Give us strength to do Thy will.

3. Father, merciful and kind,
While we labor for the right,
May we in Thy service find
Sweetest pleasure, pure delight.

4. All our follies, Lord, forgive,
Keep us from temptations free;
Help us evermore to live
Lives of holiness to Thee.
