#255 "Carry On"

This hymn brings back memories of me being at Girls' Camp at Cumorah Crest in the San Gabriel Mountains as a youth.  I guess because the first line is "Firm as the mountains around us..." it was often chosen as a morning devotional song at camp.  That is where I first learned to love this song.  When I learned to sing alto, I loved the harmony in the chorus--especially since the notes of the melody line were too high for me to sing properly.  I usually schedule this hymn around Pioneer Day (July 24th).
