FOUR WAYS TO GRAB SONG VISUALS AND SINGING
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.
When dark clouds of trouble hang o’er us
And threaten our peace to destroy,
There is hope smiling brightly before us,
And we know that deliv’rance is nigh.
We doubt not the Lord nor his goodness.
We’ve proved him in days that are past.
The wicked who fight against Zion
Will surely be smitten at last.
We’ll sing of his goodness and mercy.
We’ll 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.

Are the visuals going to be updated soon to have President Oaks?
I have put in this update request for President Oak’s prophet image update on the song and other related activities.
We also want to keep what we have for now to remember other latter-day prophets. Example: In Serve Like a Prophet post-and-present activity we have three latter-day prophets in the spotlight. We will not be changing this.
We can let you know when the song “We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet” (there are three images of the current prophet that need to be replaced). We can announce it in the newsletter when it is changed.
