Faith in Every Footstep

Sometimes faith in Jesus Christ and His gospel is all that keeps us going through difficult times. This video depicts Later-day Saints who were driven out of Kirkland, Ohio; from Nauvoo, Illinois; and from Missouri. Their faith kept them going. 

When I listen to this, I think of our own faith journey. This is a marvelous work. I am filled with hope. I do move forward with faith. 

A marvelous work has begun to come forth 

among all the children of men.

O ye that embark in the service of God, 

give heart, mind, and strength unto him;

For prophets have spoken and angels have come 

to lift the world from sin,

That Christ may reign over all the earth 

and bless his gathered kin.

With faith in every footstep, we follow Christ, the Lord;

And filled with hope through his pure love, we sing with one accord.

Those marvelous Saints who embraced this great work 

and shared it in lands far and near;

Who gave all their heart, mind, and strength to the Lord 

with wisdom and vision so clear;

Now stand as examples of virtue and faith, 

of souls prepared to hear,

Of knowledge sure, born of humble heart, 

and love that banished fear.

With faith in every footstep, we follow Christ, the Lord;

And filled with hope through his pure love, we sing with one accord.
