    Lyrics:

    To those who came before me in seasons long ago
    To those who are the loved-ones that I have yet to know
    To those whose noble names I bear, whose light within me burns
    To them in gratitude shall my heart be turned

    To those whose lives of courage prepared the way for me
    Whose works became my heritage, whose harvest I may reap
    Who left for me a legacy that I have yet to earn
    To them in gratitude shall my heart be turned

    To those who came before me in days and years long past
    To those who are the family that I shall know at last
    To those who seek the blessings of the truth that I have learned*
    To them in gratitude shall my heart be turned


    *alternate lyrics for pioneer heritage theme: Who laid a sure foundation for the truth that I have learned...
