Establishing Zion

Upon isles of the sea,

pearls of perseverance

gleam in patient hands.

Diamonds of devotion,

glitter in the promised land.

Service, precious as sapphires,

sweeps across vast savannahs.

Emerald excellence

extends from rivers

to mountaintops that ring

with ruby-rich melodies

of woodwinds, strings.

From ends of Earth—

San Salvador to Sydney,

Cambridge to Cape Town—

Saints sacrifice time,

talents, trades, skills,

abundance to meet each need,

treasures to build the Kingdom,

offerings to establish Zion.

Multiplied and sanctified,

they fill the common coffer

of consecration.

For the administration of this service not only

supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant

also by many thanksgivings unto God. (2 Cor. 9:12)
