Alaska Anchorage Mission


The Official Mission Song


sung to the tune of "In our Lovely Deseret"

From the Shining Northern Lights to the days as dark as night,
From the Yukon to the shores of Bering Sea;
From the Savior comes our call; we must reach to one and all.
We will teach the truth and truth will make us free.

(chorus for verses 1 and 2:)

Alaska Anchorage Mission! Here our banner is unfurled;
We have lots of work to do 'til this noble task is through;
We are proud to take our message to the world!

As an army here we stand; we are at the Lord's command;
We must fight the adversary to the end.
We will win and when we do, with our colors brave and true,
We will stand tall as the kingdom we defend!

(repeat chorus)

We know what we have to do. To our callings we'll be true,
For we know just how much every soul is worth.
In this greatest brotherhood, we'll do everything we should;
For we're in the greatest mission on the earth!

(Chorus for verses 3 and 4)

We don't quit until we conquer; we're not satisfied with less.
Here we serve with all our hearts, true and faithful from the start
Alaska is the place to serve; it is the best!

In this labour full of love, with our faith in God above,
and a heritage of sacrifice untold,
With the Lord to guide us through, and a living prophet, too,
We'll proclaim the truth like Paul in times of old!

(repeat chorus)
