An original hymn inspired by the June 2018 worldwide devotional to youth by President Russell M. Nelson, prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Text by Krista Mason Pace below. 

Watch on YouTube: The Lord's Youth Battalion, sacred hymn

Children of Royal, Noble, birth

Sent to fulfill their mission on Earth.

Gathering Israel, unto the fold

Angels rejoice as Latter-days unfold.

Covenant youth stand tall and strong.

Born to discern between right and wrong.

Spreading His light and love to the world.

March into battle, banners wave unfurled.

Heading a prophet’s call to give

Whole heart and mind, that others may live.

Sharing His Gospel, praying for might.

Sacrifice bringing blessings of His Light.

Free from distractions of this day.

Our lives are His; we’ll follow His way.

We will be diff’rent. We will stand fast.
