And they did sing praises unto the Lord; yea, the brother of Jared did sing praises unto the Lord, and he did thank and praise the Lord all the day long; and when the night came, they did not cease to praise the Lord.
From the Book of Ether
Bringing light to darkness, quenching all our thirst,
Offering salvation -- we ought to praise God first.
Hold off on all the questions, delay our anguished pleas --
Accept His loving kindness on humble bended knees.
The heart was made for praising, the tongue should wag with joy --
Our curdled thoughts are enemas with care we should employ.
The mountains sing for gladness, though we choose not to hear;
The birds a festive chorus are ever bringing near.
The next time I start kneeling, with any kind of doubt,
O Lord make me a mute until with joy I learn to shout!
