English (Original Language)
1. An angel came and spoke to manAbout the everlasting plan,That God would send again to earthThe same as at the Savior’s birth.
2. Our prophet Joseph was the oneGod chose, and with his holy Son,Told him the things that he must doTo bring the truth to me and you.
3. So children grown, and children smallIt is God’s hope that one and allWill listen, learn, and work and pray,To follow this, the only way.
