An original hymn about pioneer women. See the text by Kathryn Hales below.

The women walked alongside the wagons,

The burden on oxen to spare,

Wrapped in a shawl or a blanket,

Their feet often calloused and bare.

 

They met at the quarter-master’s wagon,

Their own scant rations to receive,

Then with culinary skills prepared

A meal, a family’s hunger to relieve.

 

Their prayers arose like incense

From the campfires’ spark-filled glow,

That the God they believed in from Heaven

Would bless their loved ones below.

 

Left alone to drive the wagons

When military duty was the demand,

Courageous pioneer women

Obeyed the prophet’s commands.

 

Some lived to complete their journey;

Some died by the trail on the way,

Yet the trials or hardships encountered,

Their faith in God did not sway.

 

Whether over the rivers or mountains

They trudged onward each day,

Till they arrived in The Valley,

And prayed for more courage to stay.

 

Praise be to such pioneer women,

Who with courage did their part,

For the building up of a holy people,

With Zion a goal of their hearts.

 

Valiant men have always needed

Virtuous women by their sides,

So both can progress together

And in God’s eternal home abide.

Text:

The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want.
Fresh and green are the pastures
where he gives me repose.
Near restful waters he leads me,
to revive my drooping spirit.

The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want.

He guides me along the right path;
he is true to his name.
If I should walk in the valley of darkness no evil would I fear.
You are there with your crook and your staff;
with these you give me comfort.

The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want.

You have prepared a banquet for me
in the sight of my foes.
My head you have anointed with oil;
my cup is overflowing.

The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want.

Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me
all the days of my life.
In the Lord's own house shall I dwell
for ever and ever.

The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want.

Composed by Richard St. Clair. 20th Century,Contemporary. Octavo. 13 pages. Richard St. Clair #3000545. Published by Richard St. Clair (A0.939673).

These words were composed by Genshin Shonin (Japan, 11th c. CE), one of the seven Pure Land Masters named by Shinran Shonin (Japan, 1173-1262), founder of the Jodo Shinshu sect of True Shin Buddhism. The MP3 Audio File is a computer-generated soundfile. Duration, about 5 minutes.

Lyrics:

Dharma Words at Yokawa by Genshin Shonin (942-1017)

It is a great joy for us sentient beings
to escape from the three evil realms
and be born as humans.

Even if our status in society is low,
could it be worse than the state of animals?
Even if we are born in a poor family,
we are in a far better condition than hungry spirits.

Even if our wishes are not fulfilled,
our suffering cannot be compared with the tortures of hell.
We should not sorrow over unhappiness in this life;
we should consider our lower social position
as an incentive to seek Enlightenment.
For this reason, we should rejoice
at having been born as humans.Even though the mind of faith is shallow,
anyone who takes refuge in Amida Buddha
will unfailingly attain birth, because the Original Vow is sdeep.

Even though the Nembutsu comes from a reluctant heart,
anyone who recites it never fails to see Amida
welcoming him to his Pure Land;
so great is the merit of the Nembutsu.
For this reason, we should rejoice
at having encountered the Original Vow.Delusion is the nature of ordinary beings.
Apart from delusion, there is no mind in us.

If we recite the Nembutsu while resigned to the fact
that we are to remain ordinary beings full of delusion until death,
we shall be received in welcome by Amida;
then, as soon as we mount the lotus seat,
our mind of delusion will be turned into that of Enlightenment.

The Nembutsu that is uttered with the mind of delusion
is like a lotus flower unstained by the muddy water.
There should not be any doubt as to our attainment of birth.We should not be concerned about our delusion,
but reflecting on the shallowness of our mind of faith,
continually recite the Name in earnest.

Text:

In after time, when all this dream
Becomes pure dream, and roughest years
Lie down among the tender grass,
And spring up sentient upon the meadow;

In that after time of great-born Aprils,
Beyond a century of tatters and malice,
When love has thrown out fear and madness
The eyes will see the sun as wonder.

In after time, when rage and chaos
Lose their sov'reign force, new dream
Will lift the shining life to spirit
And mate the make of man to merit.

Then shall holy summers come; then laughter
Godlike shake upon a dewy morning;
Then fullness grow - big with purpose,
And man shall know again his richness.
