What Latter-Day Saint Women Do Best

What do Latter Day Saint women do best?
But stand strong and immovable
As a united society, we are convinced
Our strength will one day be incalculable

For strengthening hearts, we believe
That the sisters of Zion speak as one
For 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
We, as sisters can combine and lead

To stand immovable in their covenants
To uphold, nourish, and protect the home
While defending truth in all we come up against
As, too, we make our divine roles known

How we get on our 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

How we 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 sisterhood do what they should do best
There to unite and move forward completing
What, through faith in the Savior, does succor and bless
