Sing with Me (1969),
p. B-43a
An Angel Came to Joseph Smith
An Angel Came to Joseph Smith
1. An angel came to Joseph Smith,
And from the ground he took
A sacred record hidden there
A precious, holy book.
2. It tells of people who came here,
Led by Jehovah’s hand;
It tells of nations who once lived
Upon this lovely land.
3. It tells about the Lamanites,
About the Nephites, too;
It tells about the Jaredites
And prophets false and true.
4. Some day I’ll read the sacred book,
And then I’ll understand
Why Heav’nly Father watches all
Upon this lovely land.
