Let the Mountains Shout for Joy

Let your hearts rejoice and be glad.

Let the earth break forth into singing.

Let the mountains shout for joy,

And ye valleys cry aloud;

And ye seas and ye dry lands

Tell the wonders of your king!

And ye rivers and brooks

And rills flow down with gladness.

Let the woods and all the trees

Of the field praise the Lord!

And ye solid rocks weep for joy!

Let the sun, moon, and the morning stars sing together,

Let all the sons of God shout for joy!

And let the eternal creations

Declare his name forever and ever!

And again I say, how glorious is the voice

That we hear from heaven,

Proclaiming in our ears glory and salvation;

And honor, and immortality, and eternal life;

Kingdoms, principalities, and powers!

                     Joseph Smith (adapted)
