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.
