TTTO Hard Times Come Again No More by Stephen Foster


I will sing of the Mormons, the people of the Lord
Since the time that Joseph prayed for light
And the way they've been guided by Jesus' holy word
And saved by power of His might

	'Tis the song, the sigh of the Mormons
	Hard times, hard times come again no more
	Many days they have lingered around our cabin door
	But now we've brighter days in store

The grasshoppers crickets and robbers all combined
Were powerless to crush our noble cause
(And) The more we are hated the more we are maligned
The more the Church of Jesus grows

Each time that they wicked have tried to overthrow
And to bring the work of God to naught
The way has been opened for the Saints to escape
A ram in the thicket was caught

	'Tis the song, the sigh of the Mormons
	Hard times, hard times come again no more
	Many days they have lingered around our cabin door
	But now we've brighter days in store
		But now we've brighter days in store
