Ye Saints, have faith and constant be. When skies grow dark and hopes decline, Then let your faith the stronger be! Have faith, Ye Saints; Faith is divine.
2. ’Twas Nephi in the olden days Enjoyed this gift of faith supreme. Recall what mighty deeds he wrought. Have faith, Ye Saints; Faith can redeem.

3. Faith is a rock, steadfast, secure. Who builds thereon he buildeth well. Let faith thy pillar ever be. Then ’midst the sainted shall ye dwell.
Ye Saints, have faith and constant be. When skies grow dark and hopes decline, Then let your faith the stronger be! Have faith, Ye Saints; Faith is divine.
