Press Forward Youth

Press Forward Youth

Adapted from “Press Forward Saints, Hymn book p. 81

 

Press forward youth, with steadfast faith in Christ.

With cove-nants firm and bright in heart and mind.

With love of God, and love of all man-kind.

Al-le-lu-ia! Al-le-lu-ia! Al-lelu-ia!

 

Press on and cove-nant in the ways of Christ.

Receive His name, rejoicing in His might.

Cove-nant with God; and earn eternal life!

Al-le-lu-ia! Al-le-lu-ia! Al-lelu-ia!

Trek Theme Song

2013 Pioneer Trek Theme Song

 

Long ago they walked this path with hope in their hearts.

Not knowing what lay ahead, but no afraid to start.

Every step they took in faith with Zion in their view,

They’d do anything that the Lord would have them do.

 

Chorus 1

They were pioneers pushing on together.

Shining as a light for all the world.

With strength they faced their fears

With faith they climbed each mountain,

And their footprints would show other’s the way.

As they lived a legacy of faith.

 

Hungry and cold. Not much to eat.

He feels he can’t go on, every step burns his feet.

Something pushes hi forward, his cart moving on its own.

He looks back, no one's there, but he knows he’s not alone.

 

Chorus 1

 

We’re pioneers. In modern day.

Every step and choice we make leave footprints long the way.

Now’s the time to share the truth, and live the gospel plan.

Valiant and courageous, holy places we will stand.

 

Chorus 2

We are pioneers pushing on together.

Shining as a light for all the world.

With strength we’ll face our fears

With faith we’ll climb each mountain.

And our footprints will show others the way,

As we live a legacy of faith.

 

We may not have to face the trials our ancestors went through,

But just like them, we’ll do what the Lord would have us do.

 

Chorus 2
