Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Baptism’s like a birthday, For a sweet, new life begins In waters of baptism That remove all earthly sins.
2. A member of the kingdom Must endure until the end, Inspired, led in safety By the Holy Ghost, our friend.
3. Each time I am in error I will honestly repent, Renewing this, my promise, Ev’ry week through sacrament.
