Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ‎#24

24. God Bless Our Prophet Dear

1. God bless our prophet dear;
May health and comfort cheer
His noble heart.
His words with fire impress
On souls that thou wilt bless
To choose in righteousness
The better part.

2. So shall thy kingdom spread,
As by thy prophets said,
From sea to sea.
Truth burns in ev’ry soul;
As one united whole,
We hasten to the goal
We long to see.

3. Oh, may thy Saints be one,
Like Father and the Son,
Nor disagree.
United heart and hand,
So may we ever stand,
A firm and valiant band
Eternally.
