The Gold Plates Lyrics by Rob Gardner

Joseph Smith the Prophet

2001

[Narrator:]
On September 22, 1827, Joseph was met once again by the heavenly messenger on a hill near Palmyra. There at last he received the plates with a charge that he be responsible for them
For the next two and a half years, Joseph and Emma lived in a farmhouse at Harmony. There Joseph began translation of the plates with Emma as his scribe
Then, in April 1829, a school teacher named Oliver Cowdery came to the Smith house making inquiries about the plates. Two days later, Oliver took over as Joseph's scribe
These were days never to be forgotten-to sit under the sound of a voice dictated by the inspiration of heaven, awakened the utmost gratitude of this bosom! Day after day I continued, uninterrupted, to write from his mouth, as he translated the history or record called The Book of Mormon
