Lyrics from Relief Society Song Book, 1919, no. 73

• Title: God Bless Our Mountain Home
• Note: Parenthesized phrases are sung by altos, tenors and basses.

1. O happy home among the hills,
Where flow a thousand crystal rills;
Surrounded by grand mountains high,
Whose snowclad summits reach the sky;
My heart enraptured with the sight,
Cries to the heavens with delight.

Refrain.
God bless our mountain home, (God bless and guard our mountain home,)
God bless our mountain home.
God bless our mountain home, (God bless and guard our mountain home,)
God bless our mountain home.

2. Fanned by the cool, soft mountain air,
The valleys turn with beauties rare;
And flowers deck the hills and plains,
Refreshed by springs and autumn rains;
Each nook contains a city fair,
Filled with warm hearts who breathe a prayer.

3. May no intruding hostile band,
E’er desecrate our beateous land;
Nor war’s alarms disturb the rest
And peace with which our homes are blest,
While generations swell the throng
Of happy hearts to sing the song.
