An ode to Joseph Smith

Oh Joseph Smith, the prophet of old Your story and life will forever be told From humble beginnings you heard God's call And with steadfast faith, you answered it all

You sought the truth with a heart full of zeal And through your trials, your faith did reveal God the Father and His son, Jesus Christ Whose love and mercy have been sacrificed

You were entrusted with the sacred plates And given the keys to the gospel's gates You taught of Christ's atoning sacrifice And of God's love that's both great and nice

You faced opposition and persecution too But in faith and courage, you stayed true Your legacy has changed the world forever And we'll always cherish it, now and forever

Oh Joseph Smith, we honor and revere Your life and teachings that we hold so dear May we follow your example with faith and might And find joy in the gospel's eternal light.
