Lo, a mighty host of Jacob, Tented on the western shore Of the noble Mississippi, They had crossed, to cross no more. At the last day-dawn of winter, Bound with frost and wrapped in snow; Hark! the cry is "Onward, onward! Camp of Israel, rise and go." All at once is life and motion- Trunks, and beds, and baggage fly; Oxen yoked, and horses harnessed, Tents rolled up and passing by: Soon the carriage wheels are moving, Onward to a woodland dell, Where at sunset all are quartered- Camp of Israel, all is well. Thickly 'round the tents are clustered, Neighb'ring smokes together blend; Supper served, the hymns are chanted, And the evening prayers ascend. Therefore, to your tents, O Jacob! Like our Father Abra'm dwell; God will execute His purpose- Camp of Israel, all is well. Eliza R. SnowMarch 1st, 1846
Pres. Kimball And may the Lord bless us, his servants, who have raised our hands this day… that from this time forth we may, like the children of Israel, uphold his hands and shout as did the children of Israel in one voice: "All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. (Josh. 1:16-17.) "To your tents, O Israel," stand firm and loyal and immovable.(April Conference, 1970)
