Choice above all other lands


And inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper, and shall be led to a land of promise; yea, even a land which I have prepared for you; yea, a land which is choice above all other lands.
First Nephi. Chapter Two. Verse 20.

Our land is choice, our people blessed;
we suckle on God's kindly breast.
We prosper in the shade of peace;
with freedom to pursue increase.
*
This only can continue when
commandments are obeyed by men.
And if the evil we embrace
then God will hide his loving face.
*
My duty is to so obey
His laws and never think to stray,
 and so to keep our country strong,
defending right -- refusing wrong.
