A sacred hymn referencing the Sacred Grove where God and Jesus Christ appeared to the Prophet Joseph Smith in 1820. Music by Kevin G. Pace with text by Mark R. Fotheringham. See text below:
Palmyra's budding green, in flourishes of Spring,
To thee young Joseph came to call upon God's name.
'Twas there among thy trees, he fell upon his knees.
There in this sacred place, by heaven's holy grace,
Appeared here unto one the Father and Son.
There witnessing this sight, leaves bathed in heaven's light,
Did woodland there rejoice to hear the Father's voice?
Did flower, fox and bird hear every holy word,
Or did they shy away on seeing heaven's ray?
Let all creation sing for light God still brings.
The seasons come and go yet in this sacred grove,
Amid the maple tree, the elm and hickory,
Is felt the Spirits hand confirming sacred land.
Here God designed to go to let a prophet know
His work to bless the earth would here find new birth.
