A chosen, Blessed land art thou. Touched by the hand of God, Thrice blessed thy every sod; For in thy breast lie buried great treasures yet untold, Thy fruits from field and garden are fair and manifold; Thy many streamlets sparkle through meadow, hill, and plain, Renew the fertile valleys caressed by waving grain; High mountains skirt the landscape, full robed in lasting snow, While lofty heights and summits reflect the sunset's glow ; Thy salt sea's brilliant sunsets enchanteth ev'ry one, Far-flung their fame and beauty, from east to setting sun. Thy great Bryce canyon's splendor unmatched in sister states, With scintillating glory, in dawning morning breaks. Thou land of peace and sunshine, where seagulls build their nest, Great heritage awaits thee, star of the magic west. Mt. Pleasant, Utah MRS. GRACE JACOBSEN
