[MUSIC - "WE THANK THEE, O GOD,
FOR A PROPHET"] We thank thee, O
God, for a prophet To guide us in
these latter days. We thank thee for
sending the gospel To lighten our
minds with its rays. We thank thee for every blessing Bestowed by thy bounteous hand. We feel it a pleasure
to serve thee And love to obey thy command.
When dark clouds of
trouble hang o'er us And threaten our
peace to destroy, There is hope smiling
brightly before us, And we know that
deliv'rance is nigh. We doubt not the Lord
nor his goodness. We've proved him in
days that are past. The wicked who
fight against Zion Will surely be smitten at last.
We'll sing of his
goodness and mercy. We'll praise him by
day and by night, Rejoice in his glorious gospel, And bask in its
life-giving light. Thus on to eternal perfection The honest and faithful will go, While they who reject
this glad message Shall never such happiness know.
We feel it a pleasure
to serve thee And love to obey thy command.
Thy command.
Thy command.
Thy command.
