Joseph Smiths First Prayer Tune Of In Humility Our Savior Cifras

[Verse 1]
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.
 
[Verse 2]
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.
 
[Verse 3]
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,
 
[Verse 4]
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,
