Forbears- Pioneers- Christian Soldiers

With hardships to bear
And fears to conquer
Our ancient forbears
Sought God to honor

The journey was stark
The future seemed bleak
They knew they could starve
Still, they remained meek

These Christian soldiers
With faith in God's care
Straightened their shoulders
Despite burdens there

The goal was Zion:
The land of promise
Where, freedom is won
We gain from all this

Their story goes on
As with them we join
Their timeline grows long,
Enduring, with joy
