# The Temple of God at Nauvoo

<!-- page:830 -->

By W. W. Phelps.

Ye servants that so many prophets foretold, Proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,

Should labor for Zion and not for the gold, For now we have prophets to bring forth his word,

Go into the field ere the sun dries the few, And reveal to the church what the world never knew,

And reap for the kingdom of God at Nauvoo. By faith in the Temple of God at Nauvoo.

Go carry glad tidings, that all may attend, To spirits in prison the gospel is sent,

While God is unfolding :the time of the end;" For on such a mission the Savior once went;

And say to all nations, whatever you do, And we are baptiz'd for the dead-surely, too,

Come build up the Temple of God at Nauvoo. In the font at the Temple of God at Nauvoo.

Go say to the Islands that wait for his law, Up; watch! for the strange work of God has begun,

Prepare for that glory the prophets once saw, And now things are opening, now, under the sun;

And bring on your gold and your precious things, too, And knowledge on knowledge will burst to our view.

As tithes for the Temple of God at Nauvoo. From Seers in the Temple of God at Nauvoo.

Go say to the great men, who boast of a name;

To kings and their nobles, all born unto fame,

Come, bring on your treasures, antiquities, too,

And honor the Temple of God at Nauvoo.
