“VISITING TEACHING”

LDS Visiting Teachers
Are called by Christ, the Lord,
To share their love for sisters
Who need His blest reward,

But more, to bless and nurture
Their sisters every day,
While helping them to be prepared
For what the scriptures say.

Their work and also service
Show forth their love for He
Who shared His own examples,
Then died on Calvary.

With Visiting Teachers teaching,
And sharing unfeigned love
With those they’re called to nurture,
As guided from above,

It’s bound to make a difference
For all eternity,
Because they’re helping Father,
His Royal Majesty,

To thus fulfill His mission
Of helping us to be
His noble sons and daughters
For all eternity.

Go forth in strength and courage,
Be all that you can be,
A loving Visiting Teacher,
Who’s filled with charity.

For “Charity Never Faileth,”
But blesses everyone
With light and life eternal,
Through God’s beloved Son.

The Lord has called each sister
To share His light divine,
With those whose light is flickering,
He’ll make their heart-light shine,

And help them come to realize
How precious that they are,
More precious than a world of gold,
And you will be their star.
