Praise to the Man

Author: William W. Phelps, 1792–1872 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Restoration of the Gospel 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, Plead unto heav’n while the earth lauds his fame. 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, Crowned in the midst of the prophets of old. 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. Used With Tune: [Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!]

Author: George Manwaring, 1854–1889 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Restoration of the Gospel First Line: Oh, how lovely was the morning! Lyrics: 1. Oh, how lovely was the morning! Radiant beamed the sun above.

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. Scripture: James 1:5 Used With Tune: [Oh, how lovely was the morning!]
