An Angel Came to Joseph Smith

With conviction

35395, Children's Songbook, The Gospel, An Angel Came to Joseph Smith, 86

1. An angel came to Joseph Smith,
And from the ground he took
A sacred record hidden there,
A precious, holy book.

2. It tells of people long ago,
Led by the Lord's own hand,
Who left their homes and crossed the sea
To reach a favored land.

3. The Nephites and the Lamanites,
And all who came to dwell,
Had peace when they obeyed the Lord,
The sacred records tell.

4. And now I'll read the sacred book,
And then I'll understand
That Heav'nly Father loves us all
In each and ev'ry land.
