LDS Hymns – Joseph Smiths First Prayer Tune Of In Humility Our Savior (Guitar)

F              Bb      C7
Oh, how lovely was the morning

F       Am         C7   F
Radiant beamed the sun above.

F                  Bb          C7
Bees were humming, sweet birds singing,

F     Am      C7       F
Music ringing thru the grove,

F        D7     Gm    C7
When within the shady woodland

F      Dm         Bb     C7
Joseph sought the God of love,

F        C7     F     C7
When within the shady woodland

F      Bb         F   C7 F
Joseph sought the God of love.

F                Bb      C7
Humbly kneeling, sweet appealing-

F         Am          C7      F
’Twas the boy’s first uttered prayer-

F                  Bb    C7
When the pow’rs of sin assailing

F          Am        C7      F
Filled his soul with deep despair;

F     D7       Gm       C7
But undaunted, still he trusted

F      Dm       Bb       C7
In his Heav’nly Father’s care.

F     C7       F        C7
But undaunted, still he trusted

F      Bb       F C7     F
In his Heav’nly Father’s care.

F          Bb      C7
Suddenly a light descended,

F        Am       C7      F
Brighter far than noonday sun,

F              Bb       C7
And a shining, glorious pillar

F        Am     C7        F
O’er him fell, around him shone,

F       D7         Gm       C7
While appeared two heav’nly beings,

F       Dm     Bb      C7
God the Father and the Son,

F       C7         F        C7
While appeared two heav’nly beings,

F       Bb     F   C7  F
God the Father and the Son,

F                Bb   C7
“Joseph, this is my Beloved;

F          Am      C7        F
Hear him!” Oh, how sweet the word!

F               Bb         C7
Joseph’s humble prayer was answered,

F      Am       C7     F
And he listened to the Lord.

F        D7      Gm         C7
Oh, what rapture filled his bosom,

F      Dm      Bb     C7
For he saw the living God,

F        C7      F          C7
Oh, what rapture filled his bosom,

F      Bb      F C7   F
For he saw the living God,
