Sing the Wondrous Story

Words and Music by Evan Stephens

Sing, sing the wondrous story,
Of a hundred years,
Since, from the courts of glory
To this vale of tears,
God sent His chosen servant
To restore again
The Gospel long since taken
From the midst of men.

Sing of the youthful Joseph,
He, the good, and true;
Who asked the Heavenly Father
How His will to do.
Sing how from heaven descended
Father and the Son,
And gave the boy the answer,
Which his faith had won.

Sing of the brother martyrs,
One in all the strife,
Each seal’d his testimony
With his mortal life.
Sing how the work has prospered,
Spreading o’er the earth;
Sing, sing our thanks to Heaven,
For a Prophet’s birth.
