Rob Gardner O How Great Lyrics

[Narrator:]
Another four years passed before Joseph would be prepared to receive the plates. During those years, the Smith family listened to Joseph as he recounted heavenly truths. When asked whether they had ever doubted Joseph's testimony, his brother William replied:

[Lucy Mack Smith:]
My boy claims he's seen a vision
Claims the Father and the Son appeared in vision
He's a young boy, quite unlearned
But his heart is good and pure
And I believe him!
How could I not believe him?
O how marvelous it is
That our God has spoken once again
And He'll gather Israel as His people!
O how great the goodness of our God
O how great His wondrous plan! [Choir:]
O how great the goodness of our God!
O how great His wisdom and His mercy!
O how great His works, His wondrous plan
O how great the love of God!
He has placed His hand to gather Israel in
He will gather her under his wing!
We shall be His people, and He'll be our God!
A marvel and a wonder shall go forth!
O how great the goodness of our God!
O how great His wisdom and His mercy!
[Lucy Mack Smith:]
O how great His works, His wondrous plan
O how great the love of God!

[Choir:]
O how great the goodness of our God!

[Lucy Mack Smith:]
O how great His mercy on His people!
