"When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not thee o’erflow, For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress." —Hymns, no. 85

“I have always been strongly impressed with the courage and selfless sacrifice of the handcart company rescuers. Like Helaman’s stripling sons, many were young but full of faith and the fire of the covenants they had made. Words from the hymn 'How Firm a Foundation' illustrate that faith.”
