Tribute to the Great Women’s Organization,
A Starter in the Emancipation of Women

(Tune—“Come, All Ye Sons of Zion)

By Kershaw N. White, Bishop of 26th Ward, Salt Lake City)

Come Israel’s favored daughters, yours is a work of cheer,
Progressing as you journey, through every passing year;’
Success will crown your labors, the fountain clear and pure
From which your cause is flowing, proclaims it shall endure.

A Prophet, Seer and Martyr, met with you on that day,
And gave his precious blessing to start you on your way;
And youth, in all its beauty, joined hand in hand with age
To write a wondrous story in history’s shining page.

Where death’s bright angel enters, we ever find you there,
And poor and sick and needy will always have your care.
So, an earnest invitation we lovingly extend
And trust that in this service, your zeal you now will lend.

A glorious Prophet leader, gave you a charter grand,
And so divine approval has made your cause expand;
And everywhere God’s daughters will come into their own
And reap a bounteous harvest from seeds that you have sown.

(1927)
