Come, Come, Ye Saints by The Mormon Tabernacle Choir ♫

I am posting this in honor of Pioneer Day of July 24th and for those who gave their all including their lives that we might enjoy what we do today. This includes clips from the film Legacy by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and includes The Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing about the pioneers moving west, Come, Come, Ye Saints. This was a trek during which many thousands died along the path and much of the path which was made is now under usage as modern day interstate freeways.
Although you see many covered wagons originally many thousands travelled across the hard untamed early American West of the mid 19th Century in handcarts which they had to push and pull without the help of domestic farm animals such as horse, oxen or cattle. They often had to leave all their physical posessions, land and lifelihoods and many lost children and family members along the way.

The sacrifice of the pioneers reminds me to my own duty, to sacrifice all, that I am and have , to my lord and saviour, Jesus Christ. He is worth everything we have.

They were so brave. I'm so glad they perservered. Still it makes me cry to see their suffering and determination. Thanks for sharing.
