We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet

We thank thee, O God, for a prophet
To guide us in these latter days
We thank thee for sending the gospel
To lighten our minds with its rays
We thank thee for every blessing
Bestowed by thy bounteous hand
We feel it a pleasure to serve thee
And love to obey thy command

When the dark clouds of trouble hang o'er us
And threaten our peace to destroy
There is hope smiling brightly before us
And we know that deliv'rance is nigh
We doubt not the Lord nor his goodness
We've proved him in days that are past
The wicked who fight against Zion
Will surely be smitten at last

We'll sing of his goodness and mercy
We'll praise him by day and by night
Rejoice in his glorious gospel
And bask in its life-giving light
Thus on to eternal perfection
The honest and faithful will go
While they who reject this glad message
Shall never such happiness know
