Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.

Still may we dwell secure.
Sufficient is thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.

Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting thou art God,
To endless years the same.

The Happy Day at Last Has Come
Author: Philo Dibble, 1806–1895 Hymnal: LDS1985 #32 (1985) Lyrics: 1. The happy day at last has come.
The truth restored is now made known.
The promised angel’s come again
To introduce Messiah’s reign.

The truth from darkness has appeared.
The lands which long benighted lay
Have now beheld a glorious day:
3. The day by prophets long foretold,
The day which Abram did behold,
The day that Saints desired so long,
When God his great work would perform,
4. The day when Saints again shall hear
The voice of Jesus in their ear,
And angels, who above do reign,
Come down to speak again with men. Topics: Jesus Christ Second Coming; Restoration; Restoration of the Gospel; Truth Scripture: Acts 3:19-21 Languages: English Tune Title: ANIMATION

Our Mountain Home So Dear
Author: Emmeline B. Wells, 1828–1921 Hymnal: LDS1985 #33 (1985) Meter: 6.6.4.4.6.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1. Our mountain home so dear,
Where crystal waters clear
Flow ever free,
Flow ever free,
While thru the valleys wide
The flow’rs on ev’ry side,
Blooming in stately pride,
Are fair to see.
2. We’ll roam the verdant hills
And by the sparkling rills
Pluck the wildflow’rs,
Pluck the wildflow’rs;
The fragrance on the air,
The landscape bright and fair,
And sunshine ev’rywhere
Make pleasant hours.
3. In sylvan depth and shade,
In forest and in glade,
Where-e’er we pass,
Where-e’er we pass,
The hand of God we see
In leaf and bud and tree,
Or bird or humming bee,
Or blade of grass.
4. The streamlet, flow’r, and sod
Bespeak the works of God;
And all combine,
And all combine,
With most transporting grace,
His handiwork to trace,
Thru nature’s smiling face,
In art divine. Topics: Home; Nature; Restoration Languages: English Tune Title: UTAH

Arches over the vales of the free,
Where the pure breezes blow and the clear streamlets flow,

O Zion! dear Zion! land of the free,
Now my own mountain home, unto thee I have come;
All my fond hopes are centered in thee.

To the humble and pure thou art dear;
Tho the haughty may smile and the wicked revile,
Yet we love thy glad tidings to hear.
O Zion! dear Zion! home of the free,
Tho thou wert forced to fly to thy chambers on high,
Yet we’ll share joy and sorrow with thee.

Without fear of thy foes thou shalt tread;
And their silver and gold, as the prophets have told,
Shall be brought to adorn thy fair head.

Soon thy towers shall shine with a splendor divine,
And eternal thy glory shall be.
4. Here our voices we’ll raise, and we’ll sing to thy praise,
Sacred home of the prophets of God.
Thy deliv’rance is nigh; thy oppressors shall die;
And thy land shall be freedom’s abode.

In thy temples we’ll bend; all thy rights we’ll defend;
And our home shall be ever with thee. Topics: Pioneers; Restoration; Zion Scripture: Isaiah 2:2-3 Languages: English Tune Title: LILY DALE

The Wintry Day, Descending to Its Close
Author: Orson F. Whitney, 1855–1931 Hymnal: LDS1985 #37 (1985) Meter: 10.10.10.10 D Lyrics: 1. The wintry day, descending to its close,
Invites all wearied nature to repose,
And shades of night are falling dense and fast,
Like sable curtains closing o’er the past.
Pale through the gloom the newly fallen snow
Wraps in a shroud the silent earth below
As tho ’twere mercy’s hand had spread the pall,
A symbol of forgiveness unto all.
2. I cannot go to rest, but linger still
In meditation at my windowsill,
While, like the twinkling stars in heaven’s dome,
Come one by one sweet memories of home.
And wouldst thou ask me where my fancy roves
To reproduce the happy scenes it loves,
Where hope and memory together dwell
And paint the pictured beauties that I tell?
3. Away beyond the prairies of the West,
Where exiled Saints in solitude were blest,
Where industry the seal of wealth has set
Amid the peaceful vales of Deseret,
Unheeding still the fiercest blasts that blow,
With tops encrusted by eternal snow,
The tow’ring peaks that shield the tender sod
Stand, types of freedom reared by nature’s God.
4. The wilderness, that naught before would yield,
Is now become a fertile, fruitful field.
Where roamed at will the fearless Indian band,
The templed cities of the Saints now stand.
And sweet religion in its purity
Invites all men to its security.
There is my home, the spot I love so well,
Whose worth and beauty pen nor tongue can tell. Topics: Closing; Evening; Home; Nature; Pioneers; Restoration Scripture: Isaiah 51:3 Languages: English Tune Title: ALEX

And let us praise the Lord;
His ransomed are returning,
According to his word.
In sacred song and gladness
They walk the narrow way
And thank the Lord who brought them
To see the latter day.

Join in the theme and sing
With harmony unceasing
The praises of our King,
Whose arm is now extended,
On which the world may gaze,
To gather up the righteous
In these the latter days.

And let your joys abound!
The voice of God shall reach you
Wherever you are found
And call you back from bondage,
That you may sing his praise
In Zion and Jerusalem,
In these the latter days.
4. Then gather up for Zion,
Ye Saints thru-out the land,
And clear the way before you,
As God shall give command.
Tho wicked men and devils
Exert their pow’r, ’tis vain,
Since He who is eternal
Has said you shall obtain. Topics: Gathering of Israel; Restoration; Zion Scripture: Jeremiah 31:10-14 Languages: English Tune Title: TEASDALE

To gain a resting place.

Amid the world’s deep night,
For God, thy sure defender,
Is now thy life and light.

To all the sons of men,
With the redeemed shall, singing,
To Zion come again.

We walk the narrow road
And battle with temptation
To gain the blest abode.
But patient, firm endurance,
With glory in our view,
The Spirit’s bright assurance
Will bring us conq’rors through.

That we may faithful be,
With all the just to gather,
And thy salvation see!
Then, with the hosts of heaven,
We’ll sing th’immortal theme:
To him be glory given
Whose blood did us redeem. Topics: Enduring to the End; Gathering of Israel; Missionary Work; Patience; Restoration; Trials; Zion Languages: English Tune Title: VICTORY
