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.
