In my initiatives on the left I mention that I enjoy looking for references to the temple or lines that remind me of the temple. These hymns speak of coming to Utah and the mountains, and I think some of them may be referencing the mountains with double meaning. Suggesting that we spiritually need to go to the mountains.
Here are some favorite phrases:
Hymn #34 - O Ye Mountains High - In thy temples we'll bend; all thy rights we'll defend; And our home shall be ever with thee.
Hymn #37 - The Wintry Day, Descending to Its Close - Where roamed at will the fearless Indian band, The templed cities of the Saints now stand.
Hymn #35 - For the Strength of the Hills - We are guardians of an altar
