MORMON BATTALION SONG
BY THOMAS MORRIS
All hail the brave Battalion!
The noble, valiant band,
That went and served our country
With willing heart and hand.
Altho' we're called disloyal
By many a tongue and pen,
Our nation boasts no soliders
So ture as "Mormon" men.
O'er many a barren desert
Our weary feet have trod,
To find, where, unmolseted,
The Saints can worship God.
We've built up may cities----
We're building temples, too;
Which prove to all beholders
What "Mormon" hands can do.
We settled here in Utah,
Upon a sterile soil.
And by our faith and patience
And hard, unflinching toil,
And thro' the daily blessings
Our Father, God, bestows,
The once forbidding desert
Now blossoms as the rose.
What thp' the wicked hate us,
And 'gainst our rights contend;
And, through their vile aggressions,
Our brotherhood would rend!
The keys of truth and knowledge,
And power to us belong;
And we'll extend our borders
And make our bulwarks strong.
Our sons are growing mighty,
And they are spreading forth,
To multiply our numbers
And beautify the earth.
All hail, the brave Battalion!
The noble, valiant band,
That went and served our country
With willing heart and hand.
