JOSEPH SMITH.

TUNE—Star in the East.

Praise to the man who commun'd with Jehovah
   Jesus anointed "that Prophet and Seer,"
Blessed to open the last dispensation;
   Kings shall extol him, and nations revere.

Praise to his mem'ry, he died as a martyr;
   Honor'd and blest be his ever great name;
Long shall his blood, which was shed by assassins,
   Stain Illinois, while the earth lauds his fame
CHORUS—Hail to the Prophet, &c.

Great is his glory, and endless his priesthood,
   Ever and ever the keys he will hold;
Faithful and true he will enter his kingdom,
   Crown'd in the midst of the prophets of old.
CHORUS—Hail to the Prophet, &c.

Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven;
   Earth must atone for the blood of that man!
Wake up the world for the conflict of justice,
   Millions shall know "brother Joseph" again.
CHORUS—Hail to the Prophet, &c.
