Even in exile, in captivity,
in prison in a foreign land
we are to stand true, to be faithful
to be strong, to hold tightly
to our faith in our God
to support and protect,
encourage, instruct
our brothers, our sisters
Knowing we were not taken
but were sent there by God
to live and multiply our number.
