I Love to See the Temple

1. I love to see the temple.
I’m going there someday
To feel the Holy Spirit,
To listen and to pray.
For the temple is a house of God,
A place of love and beauty.
I’ll prepare myself while I am young;
This is my sacred duty.

2. I love to see the temple.
I’ll go inside someday.
I’ll cov’nant with my Father;
I’ll promise to obey.
For the temple is a holy place
Where we are sealed together.
As a child of God, I’ve learned this truth:
A fam’ly is forever.

3. I love to see the temple,
the place that I adore.
Inside I'll serve my fam'ly,
dear loved ones gone before.
In the temple we're endowed with pow'r
to guard against temptation.
As we worship there, we feel His peace
and learn through revelation from above.

I love to see the temple.


Prelude

I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus

1.I’m trying to be like Jesus;
I’m following in his ways.
I’m trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say.
At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,
But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers,

“Love one another as Jesus loves you.
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught.”

2.I’m trying to love my neighbor;
I’m learning to serve my friends.
I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again.
I try to remember the lessons he taught.
Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying:

“Love one another as Jesus loves you.
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught.”


Amazing Grace

1. Amazing grace—how sweet the sound—
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

2. The Lord has promised good to me;
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.

3. Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come.
His grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.


This is the Christ

1. They heard a voice, a voice so mild.
It pierced them through and made their souls to quake.
They saw Him come, a man in white,
The Savior, who had suffered for their sake.
They felt the wounds in hands and side,
And each could testify: This is the Christ.

This is the Christ, the holy Son of God—
Our Savior, Lord, Redeemer of mankind.
This is the Christ, the Healer of our souls,
Who ransomed us with love divine.

2. I read His words, the words He prayed
While bearing sorrow in Gethsemane.
I feel His love, the price He paid.
How many drops of blood were spilled for me?
With Saints of old in joyful cry
I too can testify: This is the Christ.

This is the Christ, the holy Son of God—
Our Savior, Lord, Redeemer of mankind.
This is the Christ, the Healer of our souls,
Who ransomed us with love divine.


Gethsemane

1. Jesus climbed the hill to the Garden still; His steps were heavy and slow.
Love and a prayer took Him there to the place only He could go.

Gethsemane! Jesus loves me,
So He went willingly to Gethsemane.

2. He felt all that was sad, wicked, or bad, all the pain we would ever know.
While His friends were asleep, He fought to keep His promise made long ago.

Gethsemane! Jesus loves me,
So He went willingly to Gethsemane.

The hardest thing that ever was done,
The greatest pain that ever was known,
The biggest battle that ever was won—
This was done by Jesus!
The fight was won by Jesus!

Gethsemane! Jesus loves me,
So He gave this gift to me in Gethsemane.
Gethsemane! Jesus loves me,
So He gives this gift to me from Gethsemane.


Praise God, From Whom All Blessings Flow

1. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heav'nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

2. Praise God, for beauty here on earth;
Praise him for joy in each new birth;
Praise God for Father's wondrous plan
to bring eternal life to man.

3. Praise God, for mercy, heaven sent;
Forgiveness giv'n when we repent.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Praise God! O'er death the vict'ry won
Through Jesus Christ, the Holy One!
Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, O praise him,
Alleluia!

4. Praise God, the well of righteousness!
He's slow to anger, quick to bless!
Raise prayer to him the whole day long!
Sing praise to him in voices strong!

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!


Joseph Smith's First Prayer

1. Oh, how lovely was the morning!
Radiant beamed the sun above.
Bees were humming, sweet birds singing,
Music ringing thru the grove,
When within the shady woodland
Joseph sought the God of love,
When within the shady woodland
Joseph sought the God of love.

2. Humbly kneeling, sweet appealing—
’Twas the boy’s first uttered prayer—
When the pow’rs of sin assailing
Filled his soul with deep despair;
But undaunted, still he trusted
In his Heav’nly Father’s care,
But undaunted, still he trusted
In his Heav’nly Father’s care.

3. Suddenly a light descended,
Brighter far than noonday sun,
And a shining, glorious pillar
O’er him fell, around him shone,
While appeared two heav’nly beings,
God the Father and the Son,
While appeared two heav’nly beings,
God the Father and the Son.

4. “Joseph, this is my Beloved;
Hear him!” Oh, how sweet the word!
Joseph’s humble prayer was answered,
And he listened to the Lord.
Oh, what rapture filled his bosom,
For he saw the living God,
Oh, what rapture filled his bosom,
For he saw the living God.


I See God's Love

I see God's love and wisdom all around me
as I ponder on the beauty of this earth.
I stop to contemplate His plan's great glory,
and I start to feel my soul's eternal worth.

I see God's love, gentle love so freely given.
I feel His love, tender mercies sent from heav'n.
I feel encircled in His warm embrace.
I daily walk, uplifted by His grace.

I humbly think about His grand creation,
how each lowly creature's part of His design.
The sun and moon and stars each in their motion
for His purposes do perfectly align.

I see God's love, gentle love so freely given.
I feel His love, tender mercies sent from heav'n.
I feel encircled in His warm embrace.
I daily walk, uplifted by His grace.

In awe I feel His infinite atonement,
as His mercy and His pow'r always sustain.
My tongue can scarecly utter my amazement
that for me, each day He bears my grief and pain.

I see God's love, gentle love so freely given.
I feel His love, tender mercies sent from heav'n.
I feel encircled in His warm embrace.
I daily walk, uplifted by His grace.

In quiet times and through this world's commotion,
I can feel His Spirit softly guide my way.
In faith I'll give to Him my full devotion,
'til at last I may return to Him someday.

I see God's love, gentle love so freely given.
I feel His love, tender mercies sent from heav'n.
I feel encircled in His warm embrace.
I daily walk, uplifted by His grace.


Teach Me to Walk

1. Teach me to walk in the light of his love;
Teach me to pray to my Father above;
Teach me to know of the things that are right;
Teach me, teach me to walk in the light.

2. Come, little child, and together we’ll learn
Of his commandments, that we may return
Home to his presence, to live in his sight—
Always, always to walk in the light.

3. Father in Heaven, we thank thee this day
For loving guidance to show us the way.
Grateful, we praise thee with songs of delight!
Gladly, gladly we’ll walk in the light.

4. Often we'll go to the House of the Lord.
We'll feel his spirit and learn of his word.
There we will covenant, dressed all in white,
Always, always, to walk in the light!

Always, always, we'll walk in his light.


Consider the Lilies

Consider the lilies of the field,
How they grow, how they grow.
Consider the birds in the sky
How they fly, how they fly.

He clothes the lilies of the field.
He feeds the birds in the sky.
And He will feed those who trust Him
And guide them with His eye.

Consider the sheep of His fold,
How they follow where He leads.
Though the path may wind across the mountains,
He knows the meadows where they feed.

He clothes the lilies of the field.
He feeds the birds in the sky.
And He will feed those who trust Him
And guide them with His eye.

Consider the sweet, tender children
Who must suffer on this Earth.
The pains of all of them He carried
From the day of His birth.

He clothes the lilies of the field.
He feeds the lambs in His fold.
And He will heal those who trust Him
And make their hearts as gold

He clothes the lilies of the field
He feeds the lambs in His fold
And He will heal those who trust Him
And make their hearts as gold


General Session

Always Remember

"Let the little children come,"
The Savior gently said.
Then, taking them into his arms
Laid hands upon their heads.
I wish that I had been there
As he held and blessed each one,
But there's a warmth inside my heart
That tells me I am loved.

I will always remember
That Jesus loves me,
That he lived, died, and rose again
To set the whole world free
He will bless me with his spirit
And fill my soul with peace.
I will always remember him.
He will always remember me.

In the garden, Jesus knelt
Beneath the olive trees.
He felt my sorrows, one by one
So he could comfort me.
He knows and loves me deeply
I am graven on his palms.
One day he'll call me by my name
And hold me in his arms.

I will always remember
That Jesus loves me.
That he lived, died, and rose again
To set the whole world free.
He will bless me with his spirit
And fill my soul with peace.
I will always remember him.
He will always remember me.

Always, always he'll remember me
Always, always he'll remember me

I will always remember
That Jesus loves me.
That he lived, died, and rose again
To set the whole world free.
He will bless me with his spirit
And fill my soul with peace.
I will always remember him
He will always remember me.
I will always remember him
And he'll remember me.


Homeward Bound

In the quiet misty morning,
When the moon has gone to bed,
When the sparrows stop their singing
And the sky is clear and red,

When the summer’s ceased its gleaming,
When the corn is past its prime,
When adventure’s lost its meaning,
I’ll be homeward bound in time.

Bind me not to the pasture!
Chain me not to the plow!
Set me free to find my calling
And I’ll return to you somehow.

If you find it's me you're missing,
If you’re hoping I'll return,
To your thoughts, I'll soon be listening,
And in the road, I'll stop and turn.

Then the wind will set me racing,
As my journey nears its end,
And the path I’ll be retracing
When I’m homeward bound again.

Bind me not to the pasture!
Chain me not to the plow!
Set me free to find my calling
And I’ll return to you somehow.

In the quiet misty morning,
When the moon has gone to bed,
When the sparrows stop their singing,
I’ll be homeward bound again.


I Am a Child of God

1.I am a child of God,
And he has sent me here,
Has given me an earthly home
With parents kind and dear.

Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with him someday.

2.I am a child of God,
And so my needs are great;
Help me to understand his words
Before it grows too late.

Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with him someday.

3.I am a child of God.
Rich blessings are in store;
If I but learn to do his will,
I’ll live with him once more.

Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with him someday.
