rob gardner – o give me back my prophet dear lyrics

[john taylor:]
o give me back my prophet dear
and patriarch, o give them back;

the saints of latter days to cheer
and lead them in the gospel track

but ah! they’re gone from my embrace
from earthly scenes their spirits fled;
those two, the best of adam’s race
now lie entombed among the dead

ye men of wisdom tell me why
when guilt nor crime in them were found
why now their blood doth loudly cry
from prison walls, and carthage ground

your tonguеs are mute, but pray attend
thе secret i will now relate
why those whom god to earth did lend
have met the suffering martyr’s fate

your tongues are mute, but pray attend
the secret i will now relate
why those whom god to earth did lend
have met the suffering martyr’s fate
o give me back my prophet dear

[narrator:]
throughout the history of mankind, god has called prophets to lead his people and teach them his great plan of salvation
however, after the death of christ’s apostles, due to the great wickedness upon the earth and the perversions of many plain and simple truths of the gospel, god took his priesthood from the earth, and, as prophesied by paul, the dark cloud of apostacy covered the earth for centuries
