Mormon Children sing "We Thank Thee O God for a Prophet"

Primary Choir from the Kaysville and Fruit Heights Stakes in Utah sing "We Thank Thee O God for a Prophet" during the Saturday afternoon session of the 178th Semiannual General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints held at the Conference Center in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah in October 2008.

"We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet" Hymn #19

1. 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.

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

3. Well sing of his goodness and mercy.
Well 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.

Text: William Fowler, 1830-1865

Music: Caroline Sheridan Norton, 1808 ca. 1877

Relevant Scriptures: Amos 3:7, D&C 21:15, Mosiah 2:41

@MrGCABASHE Yeah, I think it's hilarious!

[KONGbeGONE]

Being a convert, I love remembering the moment when my testimony was first really nourished. Now I read the gospel everyday and love the church with all my heart.

[DefendingMormonism]

I love this song, especially sung by these beautiful children!

Btw-did you notice @ 0:50, the boy reminds his neighbor to keep his hands to his side? so cute

@MrGCABASHE: The only "vibe" is the red-headed kid trying to get his friend to stop playing pocket pool in front of thousands of people!

I also remember primary. I am turning 16 soon and i play the organ for our LDS ward. I am so thankful for the gospel and the joy it brings to my life. Listen to the prophet, obey the commandments and hold to the iron rod! Doing those things well help us to resist temptation and to live happy, clean lives.

@MrGCABASHE

No "vibe"; it was "Quit touching me!" -- "I didn't touch you!"
