HYMN 26. P. M.
1 Now we’ll sing with one accord, For a prophet of the Lord, Bringing forth his precious word, Cheers the saints as anciently. 2 When the world in darkness lay, Lo, he sought the better way, And he heard the Savior say, “Go and prune my vineyard, son!” 3 And an angel surely, then, For a blessing unto men, Brought the priesthood back again, In its ancient purity. 4 Even Joseph he inspires; Yea; his heart he truly fires, With the light that he desires For the work of righteousness. 5 And the book of Mormon, true, With its cov’nant ever new, For the Gentile and the Jew, He translated sacredly. 6 The commandments to the church, Which the saints will always search, [33] (Where the joys of heaven perch,) Came through him from Jesus Christ. 7 Precious are his years to come, While the righteous gather home, For the great Millenium, Where he’ll rest in blessedness. 8 Prudent in this world of woes, He will triumph o’er his foes, While the realm of Zion grows Purer for eternity.
