Click here to see it. It’s awesome, and oh so bittersweet.
I hope this Sunday finds you well. Unfortunately, well does not become me today. I’ve been fighting sinus problems for over a week now, and the stuff decided to make it’s journey down into my lungs. So, it’s made sleep anything but restful. This is the first Sunday in a month where I will not go to church. After a period of a long inactivity, I went back four weeks ago so I’m a little sad that I won’t be there. But, I just have to keep the faith, and realize that I will get better.
Since it is Sunday though, I figured I’d share a few lyrics/songs with you.
Here’s a video compilation of the song “Joseph Smith’s First Prayer”.
Words:
LDS Hymns #26
Oh, how lovely was the morning!
Radiant beamed the sun above.
Bees were humming, sweet birds singing.
Music ringing thru the grove.
When within the shady woodland.
Joseph sought the God of love.
When within the shady woodland.
Joseph sought the God of love.
Humbly kneeling, sweet appealing.
Twas the boy’s first uttered prayer.
When the pow’rs of sin assailing.
Filled his soul with deep despair.
But undaunted still he trusted.
In his Heav’nly Father’s care.
But undaunted still he trusted.
In his Heav’nly Father’s care.
Suddenly a light descended.
Brighter far than noon-day sun.
And a shining glorious piller
O’er him fell around him shone.
While appeared two heav’nly beings
God the Father and the Son,
While appeared two heav’nly beings
God the Father and the Son
Joseph this is my Beloved
Hear him! Oh, how sweet the word.
Joseph’s humble prayer was answered,
And he listened to the Lord.
Oh, what rapture filled his bosom,
For he saw the living God;
Oh, what rapture filled his bosom,
For he saw the living God
