The Church is True

The church is true
It blesses lives
Through the good news
Of Jesus Christ

Here we have safety
Through our beloved prophet
We heed what he is saying
For therein we will profit

What can we know
From days gone past
To help us grow
And those we pass

We know enough
Through the spirit
For we teach with love
To those who'll hear it

Who next will face
Things hard to bear
With the truth we embrace
We've light to share

Let us spread assurance
There is a living Christ
For hope... and endurance
He is our guiding light

Let us teach what's been restored
And of the happiness we've found
Through ordinances favored
There's eternal realms beyond

The Past Way of Facing the Future
Elder L. Tom Perry
November Ensign, 73

I don't want to go back to the past
Save to learn how to face the future
Some left a legacy ever to last
With but faith and ingenuity... they were secure
