We Who Love Him

There is a man who sits alone
behind a prison door.
No evil has he ever done-
this servant of the Lord.

His sacrifice for us is great,
yet as we face each trial-
So often it is we
who are encouraged by his smile.

We love him, our Dear Prophet
and need his guiding care.
Oh, let us plead for his release
through constant, fervent prayer.

So greatly does he yearn for us
to live as we are taught.
If all would love as he loves us,
his life would not be saught.

The Lord has loved His people well,
and given us every chance.
If we would just love each other
He could change this circumstance.

If we had faith as those of old,
No chains could keep him bound.
We know the Lord will set him free
when sufficient faith within us is found.

Why should we wait to do our part
to bring God's servant forth?
Make haste, let's rally to the cause-
that he may be about his work.

We love him, our Dear Prophet
and need his guiding care.
Oh, let us plead for his release
through constant, fervent prayer!
