For The Strength of the Youth

All over the world parents are concerned
For the strength of the youth and what they have learned
To all the young men
and our young women
The First Presidency
has frankly spoken:

They love you, and have confidence in you
Of things that are right, they hope that you'll do
You are choice spirits reserved for this day
When you've temptations, you can always pray

A righteous life is full of happiness
Which can be lost with desires that areee foolish
You can live standards that will help your peers
You can reach out, and lift and help them to steer

There's burdens of guilt when you self- indulge
The father of lies will always divulge
He'll leave you fallen with a shattered life
We pray that you will avoid all this strife

Opportunities abound, there's no rest
As obligations are at their greatest
The Holy Ghost is the highest blessing
You'll have direction, there'll be less guessing

A constant and calming companionship
Can keep you from Satan's ever strong grip
You can keep your bodies and your minds clean
And walk tall through a spiritual guiding

If you are confused there's much you can do
As you believe all that the church has told you
You'll know that you been prepared for this earth
That you came to win, and you have great worth
