What Do Latter Day Saint Women Do Best?

What do Latter Day Saint women do best?
But stand strong and immovable
As a united society, I'm convinced
Their strength will one day be incalculable

It's become increasingly my belief
That the sisters will learn to speak as one
In faith, family, and relief
Set apart as disciples of the Son

In this difficult season of history
There has never been more need
To offer hope and alleviate misery
May the sisters combine and lead

Let them be immovable in their covenants
There to uphold, nourish, and protect the home
While defending truth in all they come up against
As, too, they make their divine roles known

Let them get on their knees and plea with the Lord
For help and strength and direction in all things
There to ask "who needs our help?" and relief effort
While preparing for the Lord midst what calamity brings

Let them gather under the banner of Relief Society
And help every sister become self-reliant
Too, prepared to face worldly storms and anxiety
From the addicted, unfaithful, and disobedient

Let every conference, activity, and meeting
Help the sisters do what they should do best
There to unite and move forward completing
What, through faith in the Savior, does succor and bless
