The Brightness of the Gospel Plan

I welcome another collaborator, Dixie Lea Henrie to the ldshappymusic "family". I had this tune for over two years and turned it over to her for inspiration. What it became is a great missionary hymn that would sound great sung by missionaries. :) I hope you enjoy it and, as always I welcome feedback.

1. The brightness of the gospel plan will ever light the way,
    To seeking hearts, and wand'ring souls who may have gone astray.
    The call is ours in latter days, to leave no soul behind,
    But be a beacon in the dark that searching hearts may find.

2. Be mindful of the low in heart, endeavoring to cope,
    Give comfort, help and charity, encouragement and hope.
    And love thy neighbor as thyself for truly, who is he?
    A precious child of royal birth, a brother unto thee.

3. We'll share the friendship, share the joy, love's ensign taking hold,
    For every nation, kindred tongue, we'll bring into the fold.
    We'll share the plan of happiness, God's children one and all.
    The field is ripe, the harvest nigh, let each one heed the call.

4. May we be servants unto thee, be faithful, honest, true,
    That others who may see our light, accept the gospel too.
   Oh Father may we be thy hands, our meager light be Thine,

   And spread thy word o'er all the earth, thy gospel light to shine.
