Plain and Precious Truth

Words and music by Kirstina Rasmussen

1. Plain and precious truth
For the children of a latter day—
A testimony of the Son of God—
Teaches us faith and charity,
To be humble, without pride;
Teaches us how to hold on to the rod.
Plain and precious truth
For the children of a latter day was given through a boy who prayed in the grove,
Who in his faith saw God,
Who gave him plain and precious truth.

2. Joseph was the one
Who received these precious truths on earth,
An instrument through whom the Lord could speak.
Through him that sacred book of old
Was restored to us again;
And by its precepts we are free.
Plain and precious truth
For the children of a latter day was given through a boy who prayed in the grove,
Who in his faith saw God,
Who gave him plain and precious truth.
Plain and precious truth.
By its precepts we are free.
