granted at that time by mission leaders. LDS missionaries marrying was allowed in the 19th-century and in the cases of single missionaries about to leave the mission for a long trek to Utah at times even encouraged. Charles and Lucetta had 18 children, although only 7 survived infancy. In 1863, Penrose married Louise Elizabeth Lusty. They eventually had 11 children, eight of whom lived to adulthood. Penrose was married to Romania B. Pratt Penrose in 1886. Death Penrose served in the First Presidency until his death in Salt Lake City from chronic prostatitis. In the Improvement Era on the occasion of his death George H. Brimhall published a poem praising Penrose for his works of hymns. He was buried at Salt Lake City Cemetery. Hymns Some of Penrose's poems were put to music and became LDS Church hymns. Penrose's "Up, Awake, Ye Defenders of Zion"—originally a militant hymn containing references to trials of Latter-day Saints in the central United States and the threatening United States government (ironically set to the melody for "Columbia, Gem of the Ocean")—became an anthem for Latter-day Saints during the difficulties preceding and during the Utah War of 1857–58. Some of Penrose's lyrics appear in the LDS Church's 1985 hymnal, including: "God of Our Fathers, We Come Unto Thee" "O Ye Mountains High" "School Thy Feelings" "Up, Awake, Ye Defenders of Zion" (with modified lyrics, 1985) Notes References .
