Set to the majestic tune of Gustav Holst's "Thaxted" ("Jupiter" from The Planets), this arrangement, performed during the 175th Semiannual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, utilizes the lyrics from the beloved restoration hymn "The Iron Rod." The text takes the listener on a journey through Lehi's vision of the Tree of Life as recorded in The Book of Mormon. Powerful harmonies and sublime tones of the organ define the message and final exclamation of this song: "Hold to the word of God!"
