TUNE-Star in the East.
Praise to the man who comun'd with Jehovah, Stain Illinois, while the lauds his fame.
Jesus' anointed "that Prophet and Seer." CHORUS-Hail to the prophet, &c.,
Blessed to open the last dispensation;-
Kings shall extol him, and nations revere. Great is his glory, and endless his priesthood,
Ever and ever the keys he will hold;
CHORUS-Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven, Faithful and true he will enter his kingdom,
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain, Crown'd in the midst of the prophets of old.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren, CHORUS-Hail to the prophet, &c.
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven;
Praise to his mem'ry, he died as a martyr; Earth must atone for the blood of that man!
Honor'd and blest be his ever great name; Wake up the world for the conflict of justice,
Long shall his blood, which was shed by assassins, Millions shall know "brother Joseph" again.
CHORUS-Hail to the prophet, &c.
