  • This was so beautiful. I was brought to tears. Thank you.

  • I was born into the church, but I have a very strong testimony that it is true.

    I love this arrangement.

  • The Work and the Glory series goes with this song so much. Especially the first one. If you have read them, you know.

  • simply amazing. very beautiful. joseph smith is my favorite prophet and praise to the man is my favorite song. this is a VERY BEAUTIFUL vesion

  • this is my favoriye hymn. i absolutely love this song and the gospel.

  • Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and he restored the fullness of the Gospel while establishing Christ's true church on Earth. He died as a martyr in the Savior's name. Praise to him indeed!

  • I know that He is a Prophet of God.

  • thank you. that was beautiful.

  • Absolutely beautiful, perfect for my lesson Sunday. You saved me a lot of time by not having to do it myself. I hope that the testimony of Joseph Smith can be felt. THanks for sharing.

  • It's amazing what Joseph has done. He translated the Book of Mormon, became the first Latter Day Prophet, faced persecution and hatred, loved everyone and tried to be the best father he could. He did all this so that we could have the truth here on the earth today for our benefit. I shall stick by God and Joseph forever. I know that the LDS church is the true world of God and I invite all those who aren't LDS to repent and to come unto God.

  • this is AMAZING! one day I hope to play this piece as you wrote it. breathe taking.. excellent. the Spirit definitely had his Hand on this one... :)

  • Kyiv Ukraine Temple dedicatory prayer: 'We seek to pattern our lives after the life of Thy Son'

  • This is wonderful. Thank you!

  • That was Beautiful......Wonderful Music and a Super Set of Pictures. Thanks for letting People look at this and to be able to feel the Spirit of this Man and to Think About This Time in History.

  • wow Beauriful

  • I'm reading the book Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling by Richard Lyman Bushman. I didn't realize this before reading the book, but Joseph translated the Book of Mormon in only 3 months!! I already knew the Book of Mormon is true, but learning that an uneducated farm boy of 22 years translated the book in 3 months further confirms my belief. It isn't possible that he could have written that book.

  • @PlaceOfYes It was actually a little less than 3 months. You also have to realize that this was not the only thing the prophet had to do during this time period.

    People who claim the Book of Mormon is not God's word have never even attempted to understand the background of how it came to be. The restoration is truly as it was foretold in by Isaiah "a marvelous work and a wonder."

  • Joseph smith a prophet of God.

  • That is a beautiful piece. Thank you for posting it.

  • The 166th anniversary of the martydom of the Prophet Joseph Smith & Hyrum Smith.

    Jesus annointed that Prophet & Seer.

    Blessed to open the last dispensation,

    Kings shall extol him, & nations revere.

    Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!

    Traitors & tyrants now fight him in vain.

    Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;

    Death cannot conquer the hero again.

    Joseph Smith, the Prophet & Seer of the Lord, has done more, save Jesus only for the salvation of men in this world. D&C135:3

  • liz thats so cool even though ive heard it a bunch i still love it you are so talented and im super jealous

  • I love the story behind 3:02. It shows the power and conviction that the Prophet had. He possessed a righteous indignation that only those under the service of God can possess. Truly he was a prophet of the most high God! Praise to the man!

  • Can I get the piano music for this? I would love it.

  • @Pianoism023 I don't have it available, sorry. Glad you liked it though!

  • "Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah..."

    "...Traitors and tyrants shall fight him in vain..."

    "...Millions shall know Brother Joseph again."

    I love Joseph Smith. What a courageous, selfless, inspired, faithful man. It is said that Joseph Smith did more for the salvation of men than anyone in the world, besides Jesus Christ himself. I believe it, too. I cannot wait to meet him in the spirit world. :)

  • Beautiful. I love the pictures. It depicts Joseph Smith more with his family, which we don't see as often as others. Thanks for sharing it with us.

  • Beautiful, brings the Spirit into my heart!

  • joesph smith rocks just like this song

  • Comment removed

  • i know all the words to this song

  • I love the image of Joseph brushing Emma's hair.

    This arrangement is beautiful, it invites the spirit and warms the soul.

    Thank you

  • sooo how can i get the sheet music for this

  • someday I will consider getting it written out and published...

  • This is gorgeous.

  • anyway to get an mp3 of this version?

  • Hooray, a fellow person who can arrange and play music on the piano! Beautifully arranged and done, my friend!

  • how can i download this video?

  • The first, but defenitely not the last Prophet of God's Kingdom on earth.

    Glorify Christ, and raise his children up!!!

  • If Joseph Smith was God's first prophet, then what was Abraham?

  • He means the first latter-day prophet, of THIS dispensation. Adam was God's first prophet, and others included Abraham, Moses, Elijah, Samuel, etc. There have been prophets on the earth whenever God's kingdom has been on the earth.

  • i love this slide show, and especially the song! It's beautiful!

  • He is our prophet !

    Thanks!

  • Great - My mind was filled with wonderful memories listening to this LDS hymn.

  • Nice rendition. I love it.

  • Thank you so much for sharing this. My heart was touched. I am wondering if you have the sheet music for this piano arrangement at all? I would love to use it if you do.

  • I don't have written music right now, sorry.

  • behold,my brother and sisters, my name is tommy wang, i'm so greatful to join the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints, this is the truch church of the world, i know the church have full gosple, either i know this church change a lot of people's life

  • Who is this playing? It's beautiful!

  • That would be me. =) Glad you like it!

  • This is soooo beautiful. You have so much talent. My 1-year-old daughter loves to hum along to this song.

  • I love this song.

  • if we have faith you will change...change is always welcome in our heart ...JESUS CHRIST AND LATTER DAY SAINTS born because it is the preparation of the second coming of JESUS...i must hope that people in this world can realized and see the true church of JESUS that will make them CHANGE and have eternity happiness..

  • Se escucha hermoso, que fabuloso que el Padre nos siga mandando profetas para saber dirigir nuestras vidas, saludos

  • My heart is full of hope now that I have been truly converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I hope for things that are yet to be, as well as hope for a remission of my past sins. I'm never happier than when I'm learning about the Savior and using his life to guide my behavior in my own life.

    The Savior lives. He walked this earth and we will see him again. Thomas S. Monson is a true prophet of the Lord. This is absolutely the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

  • Amen Sister

  • @sofiamarmeladova Enjoyed your testimony . Hope others will see it .

  • @sofiamarmeladova Wow. That is a beautiful statement. 

  • Hail to the prophet ascended to Heaven! Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain. Though but a man, I testify that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. Like Peter of old, I testify that God's only begotton son, even Jesus Christ, anointed Joseph a prophet and seer in these latter days. Blessed to open the last dispensation of the gospel in the fullment of clear biblical prophesy, I testify that Joseph saw and spoke with the Father and the risen Lord, even Jesus Christ.

  • I am soon to be a convert experiencing the covenant of baptism in my ward and I have seen the truth. My testimony that Jesus is the Son of God and that Joseph Smith was a prophet who restored the Gospel and restored the Church. I know that Thomas S. Monson is the true prophet as well and support him and the Church in all they do.

  • Good for you!!!

    It's all true. Some of it might be hard to understand but it's all true. How generous the Lord is to give us that witness in our hearts and souls that His gospel has been restored and that we can enjoy the blessings of the restoration.

    So... all the best to you. Hold fast to His word, ignore the negative people and life is good!

    I came into the church in 1974 in Cal.

    While I have had severe challenges at times, I have always cherished my membership.

  • @fluffythecat2 I don't think the Lord wants us to ignore the negative people like you said in your comment. For they are the ones that need His word in their lives. People don't decide to be negative because it feels good, it's because they don't know a better way. If we can help teach them, then we should.

  • Amen my friend! Keep the faith, and good things are sure to come!

    -From a convert :)

  • I love this song we sing it at least once a month in mutual A.K.A. young women and young men. on wed. Hail to the prophet joesph smith

  • great arrangement and wonderful pictures thanks

  • beautiul :)

  • it is truly wonderful to hear and read such wonderful testimonies of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Christ. i will soon be preparing for my 2 year mission and so now i add my own testimony that God lives and loves us as His children. i know this is the true church on the Earth today and that, through our faith and united strength of Spirit, the Enemy that is Satan will fall and our Father's Kingdom will fill the Earth forevermore, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

  • Amen

  • I shall also bear my testimony with all of to read to know that with all that I am through great and deepest love of God my Eternal Father, he has not forsaken me to wander in darkness in this journey,he has given me a light to guide me, That is the light of truth of Jesus Christ and this is his gospel.

    I give to all my love and peace to them that they too can know this for themselves, for the promise is eternal,

    "Ask and it shall be given."

    "Let not your heart be empty for love awaits."

  • I will now bear my testimony to all those non-believers out there that this is the one and only true Church on the Earth today and that Joseph Smith was a true Prophet called of god to bring forth the last dispensation before the Second Coming of Our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST. I also bear my solemn testimony that I know with all the strength in my sole that Thomas S. Monson is a true prophet of God and Leads the Church Today. I leave This with you in the name of JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.

  • And i second that testimony for i use to be a non-believe and did discriminate the church..bt to all the brothers and sisters out there, i was blind nd now i see and i was lost and now i am found.

    So i testify that Jesus Christ is the Saviour and that the Church of Jesus of the Latter-day Saints is his church and that the Prophet Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God and he did restored the fullness of the Gospel on Earth and i hope that ill see you all in our Heavenly Father's Kingdom again :)

  • amen

  • Henceforth and forever, Amen and Amen!

  • Loved the tune Scotland the Brave. i did not know LDS used it as a hymn. Great tune.

  • this made my day!!!

  • Wonderful arrangement and one of my favorite hymns. Thanks!

  • I love this hymn...and this was a perfect arrangement! Just beautiful!! WOW...that's all I have to say. :)

  • that was truly the best hymm i ever heard

  • beautiful...very spiritual

  • I love the drawings.

  • this is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

  • This is beautiful! I was wondering if I could download it somewhere, I want to show it in my R.S. lesson. I would really appreciate it!

    Thanks!!

  • This is how we can feel all day every day if we carry this kind of love in our hearts. Bless you for a sharing of your spirit. Wonderfully refreshing and incredibly uplifting.

  • That was beautiful

  • Thank you for inspiring video. He is such an example. I love the music arrg. Beautiful!!

  • I really like how people can make the same song sound so different. And how when you listen to some then it just makes the spirit increase. When I just sat here and listened to the song and looked at the pictures I felt all warm inside. Thanks for putting this on here. I would like it if you put on more songs. Not very many people do.

  • Wow. It didn't look like much from the beginning. Just another hymn with churchy pictures, but when I listened to maybe ten seconds I felt bliss. I was compelled to keep watching it. Little did I know it would be so powerful. Mormon and lovin' it! Thanks for the video.

  • it's truly amazing i sang it over and over in church today

  • I love this hymn, I am always uplifted when I hear it.

  • Wow, This is a great Vid...

  • Thank you everyone for viewing and commenting! If you have some extra time, please watch my new video, "Latter-day Zion," that I just put up. :)

  • its awesome i love it!!! :)

  • wow. this is beautiful.

  • No why would you think that. this is just a hymn that we sing to praise Joseph Smith

  • so, with this title, does this mean that LDS members worship Joseph Smith?

  • No, "Praise to the Man" is just one of our hymns honoring Joseph Smith the Prophet of God. We have plenty of other hymns (the majority) which center around our Savior Jesus Christ. Trust me, we worship God the Eternal Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. Joseph Smith was just the prophet chosen to usher in the last dispensation by restoring the Gospel THROUGH Jesus Christ.

  • OK, it just seemed a bit odd. So it would be like a ballad like God bless America where we honor our nation correct?

  • Ya like that. In God bless America, we acknowledge God in the founding of our country, just like in Praise to the Man we acknowledge God in the restoration of the Gospel.

  • @gueropuro69 I know you posted that question a while ago but if it helps at all, the word "praise" in the dictionary means to respect or honor. There is no worship of Joseph Smith in this church. Joseph Smith was only called to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, just like any other prophet in history

  • No, we don't. but I could see how the title could be confusing to someone who is not a member. We sing this song to honor and remember the first prophet of the restored church.

  • @gueropuro69 We (LDS people) don't worship Joseph Smith. we worship God and his Son. But we wouldn't have this church today without Joseph Smith so we honor him,but not worship him. Hope you understand it.

  • Wow, nice arrangement! Very moving! Thanks for taking down all that anti-mormon stuff, or "cleansing the temple" so to speak. It's truly sad that most don't have any idea of what they're preching against, or they would already be baptized :P Hopefully with continued efforts such as yours, we can share the gospel and the message of Christ!

  • Lol. so true. It is very sad to read all the negative comments and all the hate floating around society twords something that the protestors/accusers have no idea about.

  • I love this church music and every thing about it. its the true church.

  • Yes praise to the man. The man who brought us more of the words of our Savior Jesus Christ!!

  • Utah is a nice place to live in.

  • My favorite picture is at 3:03, it shows that weapons can not match the power of the Lord.

  • this is the best video in the world, joseph smith is the true prophet of god, and you can feel the true spirit. hevenly father and jesus christ really came to him. and he help the true gospel to be here. god loves joseph

  • that was incredible.

  • This moved me to tears.

  • Joseph Smith and Jesus Christ the most influentual men that have ever lived on earth, Joseph Smith has done so much for man, it's is so true 'millions shall know brother Joseph again'

  • For anyone asking, I'm sorry but I have yet to actually write this out on paper. :-( But I'll post if I ever get it written down (I personally hope that is soon.) Thanks for all of your wonderful comments!

  • I absolutely love this arrangement, it is beautiful! If you don't mind, do you by any chance have the music for this arrangement? I would love to learn how to play it. This video is so powerful and well done!

  • Liz,

    This is by far my favorite arrangement of this song. I am not bias because I know you. I am so pleased to have a copy of your song.

    Take Care, I miss you :D

    David

  • awesome!listen to the pictures and the rhythem, the melody and it swells in your chest.....testifying that Joseph Smith was and is the choosen one.

  • Beautiful... I just heard a Scottish worker here with us playing his bagpipes tonight. He was playing "Praise to the Man" and it is a famous Scottish Folk Tune that I will ask him more about later. It was breathtaking! I came over to YouTube and found your video... great job!

    I truly miss that spirit that these hymns bring with them while I'm away like this... thanks.

  • I attended different churches and i never felt the Holy Spirit touch my heart until oneday i met a missionaries and they invited me to LDS church,upon entering at the hall i felt the presence of the Holy Spirit and that was the beginning i committ myself to Jesus Christ,,i got baptized and i received a lots of blessings from our Father in Heaven,,i had a lots of callings and one of them is in "Missionary Works"i love sharing the word of God that changes my life to be a better person.GOD BLESS

  • I just about cried just now thank you :)

  • Hail to the prophet ascended to heaven keep the faith, friends, keep the faith

  • keep the faith indeed

  • Awesome video! It was beautifully done...thanks for posting

    You arranged that? It was awesome...is there a place to purchase or download or whatever?

    Thanks for this video, I loved it

  • A great video about Joseph Smith. Thanks for posting it.

    I also just finished one about the Prophet Joseph--would love to hear what you think!

  • To put it simply...

    :)

  • José Smith es y seguirá siendo el Profeta del Señor!!! Hay muchas evidencias de ello!!! Sólo deben buscarlas y en realidad sabrán que él fue un Profeta más, aquél que abrió esta última dispensación!!!

  • You know is very disturbing what people say about the LDS faith. What they didn't know out of the 5 people who paint the face of Jesus Christ. 4 of them are mormon and one is of another faith. Why is that?

  • I love this as it reminds me of the account written in my greatgrandfathers journal in which he says he was a neighbor of the Prophet & tells of how the members felt when he was killed

  • This is an excellent video and one of my favorite hymns, great work. As for the anti-Mormon trash comments, don't worry. Satan will do anything to keep open-minded people from feeling the Spirit when it is trying to touch them.

  • I'm sorry for arguing with those of different opinions on your video page.

  • No problem, at least now you won't have to deal with that anymore.

  • So please, just enjoy the video, and if you have something against the Mormon church, at least learn to speak your mind peaceably and maturely. There are places to discuss religion, but I'm just not comfortable with all the anti-Mormon comments littering my video. However, if you're NOT here to put down the church and its members, I would love to continue to hear your feedback and comments.

    Cheers

    Liz

  • Comments will now have to be approved by me because apparently anti-Mormons think this is a great place to come and argue their "views" (to say it politely.) Now don't get me wrong, I'm fine with theological discussions, just not on my page (a video meant to bring the Spirit and honor a man I love) and certainly not in the fashion in which it was taking place.

  • Thank you for stating that fact I am so sick & tired of all the Anti-mormon literature & the lies about Joseph Smith.

  • Hey I know what you mean there...I do the same with all of mine...most of the antis are like talking to brick walls that hate you :D

  • I don't understand why you get so mad at the LDS people. They do so much good in the world. They were some of the first humanitarian groups to respond to disasters alike huricane katrina. They are good people. Just becouse their beliefs are diffrent does not mean they deserve to be ridiculed. I don't see you people condeming others who don't believe in "your Christ" like Jews or Buddists. You should spend your time doing something productive inestead of tearing others down. WWJD?

  • love this man, the restoration of the church, bring blessings to my family for generations,thanks to him and all prophets i praise the lord.

  • I woudl have to agree with you maomaofungow i love this song and it is one of the ones that sticks with me always

  • Can you send me your version of this song please? It is beautiful.

  • Sorry, but I don't have a written copy (at least not yet.) It's all from memory. You know, I probably should get it down on paper sometime...

  • do you still have a recording of it?

  • Millions shall know Brother Joseph again!

    excellent arrangement

  • Long Live Brother, Joseph!

  • most of the old hymns were"borrowed". and made better i might add.

  • i thank god that he called joseph smith to begin this work. i love this gospel and everything about it

  • GOD live and i know the church lives.

  • that was really good

  • I know that he was a prophet of God.

  • Liz, its amazing!

  • Wonderful! You should make more of these.
