The Red Brick Store
In the red brick store
In front of the stairs opens the door to the prophet's office
Or where he kept the sacred writings
With a window to the south
Overlooking the river below
And the opposite shore for a great distance
Which, together with the passage of boats in the season thereof
Constitutes a peculiarly interesting situation, in prospect
And no less interesting from its retirement
From the bustle and confusion of the neighborhood and city
And altogether is a place the Lord is pleased to bless
In the red brick store. In the red brick store
Priesthood keys to govern the Church
Were "rolled on to the shoulders"
Of the Twelve Apostles
The Prophet spent many hours instructing these brethren
During the last months of his life
So that they could lead the Church
In his absence
In the upstairs room
Joseph organized the Female Relief Society of Nauvoo
"Not only to relieve the poor, but to save souls"
Here the Prophet administered to some Church members
Sacred ordinances that would later be made available
To all worthy Saints in holy temples
And here, Joseph Smith recorded the revelation
On the new and everlasting covenant of marriage
Completed the translation of the Book of Abraham
And wrote the famous Wentworth letter
Containing the Articles of Faith
In the red brick store. In the red brick store
Priesthood keys to govern the Church
Were "rolled on to the shoulders"
Of the Twelve Apostles
The Prophet spent many hours instructing these brethren
During the last months of his life
So that they could lead the Church
In his absence
Originally built in 1841
The store became headquarters
For the Church shortly after completion
A dry goods store was located on the ground floor
And Joseph's office and a meeting hall on upper floor
In his Red Brick Store Joseph Smith
Prepared his successors to carry on
The "great and mighty work" of God
Priesthood keys to govern the Church
Were "rolled on to the shoulders"
Of the Twelve Apostles
The Prophet spent many hours instructing these brethren
During the last months of his life so that they could lead the Church
In his absence...
In his absence... In his absence...
In his absence...
