Joseph Smith’s First Prayer

1.Oh, how lovely was the morning!

Pin It

Radiant beamed the sun above.

Pin It

Bees were humming, sweet birds singing,

Pin It

Music ringing thru the grove,

Pin It

When within the shady woodland

Joseph sought the God of love,

When within the shady woodland

Joseph sought the God of love.

2.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.

3.Suddenly a light descended,

Brighter far than noonday sun,

And a shining, glorious pillar

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.

4.“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.
