[Intro] C G7 C F C F C G7 C [Verse 1]
   C
To Nephi, seer of olden time,

  G7               C
A vision came from God,

     F                   C
Wherein the holy word sublime

F   C          G7 C
Was shown an iron rod.
[Chorus]
C                    G7   C
Hold to the rod, the iron rod;

                F           C
Tis strong, and bright, and true.

    G7   C          G7      C
The iron rod is the word of God;

      C      G7       C
Twill safely guide us through
[Verse 2]
      C
While on our journey here below,

  G7                 C
Beneath temptation's power,

        F                         C
Through mists of darkness we must go,

F   C       G7 C
In peril ev'ry hour.
[Chorus]
C                    G7   C
Hold to the rod, the iron rod;

                F           C
Tis strong, and bright, and true.

    G7   C          G7      C
The iron rod is the word of God;

      C      G7       C
Twill safely guide us through
[Verse 3]
    C
And when temptations' pow'r is nigh,

    G7                C
Our pathway clouded o'er

  F                   C
Upon the rod we can rely

F   C            G7  C
And heaven's aid implore.
[Chorus]
C                    G7   C
Hold to the rod, the iron rod;

                F           C
Tis strong, and bright, and true.

    G7   C          G7      C
The iron rod is the word of God;

      C      G7       C
Twill safely guide us through
