1. In our lovely Deseret, Where the Saints of God have met, There's a multitude of children all around. They are generous and brave; They have precious souls to save; They must listen and obey the gospel's sound.
2. That the children may live long And be beautiful and strong, Tea and coffee and tobacco they despise, Drink no liquor, and they eat But a very little meat; They are seeking to be great and good and wise.
