Rob Gardner - The Gold Plates lyrics
[Rob Gardner - The Gold Plates lyrics]
On September 22, 1827
Joseph was met once again
By the heavenly messenger
On a hill near Palmyra there at
Last he received the plates with a charge
That he be responsible for them
For the next two and a half years
Joseph and Emma lived in a
Farmhouse at Harmony there Joseph
Began translation of the plates with
Emma as his scribe
Then, in April 1829
A school teacher named Oliver Cowdery came to
The Smith house making inquiries about
The plates two days later
Oliver took over as Joseph's scribe
These were days never to be
Forgotten-to sit under the sound
Of a voice dictated by
The inspiration of heaven
Awakened the utmost gratitude of this
Bosom! Day after day
I continued, uninterrupted, to write
From his mouth
As he translated the history or record
Called The Book of Mormon
Joseph was met once again
By the heavenly messenger
On a hill near Palmyra there at
Last he received the plates with a charge
That he be responsible for them
For the next two and a half years
Joseph and Emma lived in a
Farmhouse at Harmony there Joseph
Began translation of the plates with
Emma as his scribe
Then, in April 1829
A school teacher named Oliver Cowdery came to
The Smith house making inquiries about
The plates two days later

These were days never to be
Forgotten-to sit under the sound
Of a voice dictated by
The inspiration of heaven
Awakened the utmost gratitude of this
Bosom! Day after day
I continued, uninterrupted, to write
From his mouth
As he translated the history or record
Called The Book of Mormon
