Author: W. W. Phelps Hymnal: Latter-Day Saints Congregational Hymns #65 (1919) First Line: Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah! Refrain First Line: Hail to the Prophet ascended to heaven! Lyrics: 1. Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!
Jesus anointed "that Prophet and Seer"-
Blessed to open the last dispensation,
Kings shall extol him, and nations revere.
Chorus:
Hail to the Prophet ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain;
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
2. Praise to his mem'ry, he died as a martyr,
Honored 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]
3. 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]
4. 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] Languages: English Tune Title: [Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!]
