D F#m G D A
O give me back my Prophet dear,
D Bm G A D A
And Patriarch, O give them back;
D F#m G D
The Saints of latter days to cheer,
Em D G A7 D
And lead them in the gospel track.
F#m Bm D G A D
But oh! they're gone from my embrace,
F#m Bm D G A
From earthly scenes their spirits fled;
D F#m G D
Two of the best of Adam's race,
Em D G A7 D F#m G A
Now lie entombed among the dead.
D F#m G D A
Ye men of wisdom tell me why,
D Bm G A D A
No guilt, no crime in them were found,
D F#m G D
Their blood doth now so loudly cry,
Em D G A7 D
From prison walls, and Carthage ground.
F#m Bm D G A D
Your tongues are mute, but pray attend,
F#m Bm D G A
The secret I will now relate,
D F#m G D
Why those whom God to earth did lend,
Em D G A7 D
Have met the suffering martyr's fate.
