86b The Golden Plates Gratefully 1. The golden plates lay hidden Deep in the mountainside, Until God found one faithful, In whom he could confide. 2. A record made by Nephi, Written in days of old; Now, in the Book of Mormon, The story is retold. Words: Rose Thomas Graham, 1875–1967 Music: J. Spencer Cornwall, 1888–1983.
