“To be a righteous woman during the winding-up scenes on this earth, before the Second Coming of our Savior, is an especially noble calling. The righteous woman’s strength and influence today can be tenfold what it might be in more tranquil times. She has been placed here to help to enrich, to protect, and to guard the home—which is society’s basic and most noble institution. Other institutions in society may falter and even fail, but the righteous woman can help to save the home, which may be the last and only sanctuary some mortals know in the midst of storm and strife.”

President Spencer W. Kimball

The Edge by Samy Charnine

One sweetly solemn thought      comes to me o’er and o’er:I am nearer home today      than I’ve ever been before,Nearer my Father’s house      where the many mansions be,Nearer the great white throne,      nearer the crystal sea,Nearer the bounds of life      where we lay our burdens down,nearer leaving the cross,      nearer gaining the crown. But lying darkly between,      winding down through the night, is the silent, unknown stream      that leads at last to the light. Father, be near when my feet      are slipping o’er the brink,for it may be I am nearer home,      nearer now than I think.

The Edge by Samy Charnine

One sweetly solemn thought
     comes to me o’er and o’er:
I am nearer home today
     than I’ve ever been before,

Nearer my Father’s house
     where the many mansions be,
Nearer the great white throne,
     nearer the crystal sea,

Nearer the bounds of life
     where we lay our burdens down,
nearer leaving the cross,
     nearer gaining the crown.

But lying darkly between,
     winding down through the night,
is the silent, unknown stream
     that leads at last to the light.

Father, be near when my feet
     are slipping o’er the brink,
for it may be I am nearer home,
     nearer now than I think.
