Hark Listen to the Trumpeters
Hark! listen to the trumpeters!
They sound for volunteers,
On Zion's bright and
flow'ry
mount
Behold the officers.Their horses white, their armor bright,With courage bold they stand,Enlisting soldiers for their King,To march to Zion's land.The trumpets sound, the armies shoutThey drive the hosts of hell,How dreadful is our God, our King,The great Emanuel.Sinners, enlist with Jesus Christ,Th'eternal Son of God,And march with us to Zion's land,Beyond the swelling flood.
There on a green and
flow'ry
mount,
Where fruits immortal grow,
With angels all arrayed in white,
We'll our Redeemer know.
In fiery chariots we shall rise,
And leave the world on fire,
And all surround the throne of love,
And join the
heav'nly
choir. Slide3

In the face of our enemies?Slide11
In Jacob’s blessing to Judah, he declared: “Judah is … as an old lion;
who shall rouse him up
?” (Gen. 49:9; italics added.)
We
come as messengers bearing the legitimate authority to arouse Judah to her promises. We do not ask Judah to forsake her heritage. We are not asking her to leave father, mother, or family. We bring a message that Judah does not possess. That message constitutes “living water” from the Fountain of living water.
Our
prophet, Joseph Smith, was given a commandment by the Lord to turn “the hearts of the Jews unto the prophets, and the prophets unto the Jews.” (D&C 98:17.) We are presently sending our messengers to every land and people whose ideology permits us entrance. We have been gathering Joseph’s descendants for 146 years. We hope you, who are of Judah, will not think it an intrusion for us to present our message to you. You are welcome to come to our meetings…We honor your commitment to your unique heritage and your individuality. We approach you in a different way than any other Christian church because we represent the restored covenant to the entire house of Israel.
