Up, awake, ye defenders of Zion!

The foe’s at the door of your homes;

Let each heart be the heart of a lion,

Unyielding and proud as he roams.

Remember the trials of Missouri;

Forget not the courage of Nauvoo.

When the enemy host is before you,

Stand firm and be faithful and true.

Stand firm and be faithful and true,

Stand firm and be faithful and true;

When the enemy host is before you,

Stand firm and be faithful and true.

By His power is Zion surrounded;

Her warriors are noble and brave,

And their faith on Jehovah is founded,

Whose power is mighty to save.

In each soldier a brave heart is beating,

Tho our numbers, compared, may be few.

We’ll not rest till our foes are retreating,

And we’ll always be faithful and true.

And we’ll always be faithful and true,

And we’ll always be faithful and true;

We’ll not rest till our foes are retreating,

And we’ll always be faithful and true.

Tho, assisted by legions infernal,

The plundering foemen advance,

With a host from the regions eternal

We’ll scatter their troops at a glance.

Soon the kingdom will be independent;

In wonder the nations will view

Our Zion in glory resplendent;

Then let us be faithful and true.

Then let us be faithful and true,

Then let us be faithful and true;

Our Zion in glory resplendent;

Then let us be faithful and true.

You can't go wrong when reading the lyrics to this hymn. Very powerful and full of spiritual strength that I needed right now.

I have read this scriptures during one of my down times on my shift. It is Alma 39. a good reminder that certain sins are a abomination unto God and that we need to do our best to remove that from our lives that we can be forgiven and saved.
