Hi Sisters,
Though we have sang this song many times, I would like to share with you hymn number 243- Let Us All Press On. I have underlined some of my favorite lines.
Let us all press on in the work of the Lord,
That when life is over we may gain a reward;
In the fight for right let us weild a sword,
The mighty sword of truth.
We will not retreat, though our numbers may be few
When compared with the opposite host in view;
But an unseen power will aid me and you
In the glorious cause of truth.
Fear not, though the enemy deride;
Courage, for the Lord is on our side.
We will heed not what the wicked may say,
But the Lord alone we will obey.
If we do what's right we have no need to fear,
For the Lord, our helper, will ever be near;
In the days of trial his Saints he will cheer,
And prosper the cause of truth.
Fear not, courage, though the enemy deride;
We must be victorious, for the Lord is on our side.
We'll not fear the wicked nor give heed to what they say,
But the Lord, our Heavenly Father, him alone we will obey.
I know visiting teaching may not be easy or work out the way we'd want them to at times. We should never give up and strive to do what we CAN do. If we do what our Heavenly Father asks us to do, He will always provide a way for us.
Love,
Rebecca Lo
