Eternal Brothers

From the time they came to earth

These brothers were of greatest worth.

Hyrum stood strong as a mighty oak

Joseph's light you could not cloak.


Joseph took on a world of sin

When from the grove truth did begin.

Not once could he deny the truth

He learned of God while yet a youth.


Cumorah held a precious book

Hid from the world that Him forsook.

With power from God it came to light

To show the way of truth and right.


Hyrum remained at Joseph's side

His humble spirit blocked out pride.

Faithful to his brother dear

His earthly fate he did not fear.


Chosen both as prophets true

They would see God's work clear through.

Many times from families torn

Could any man be this forlorn?


To prison they were wrongly sent

They suffered pain, their spirits spent.

God spoke to Joseph once again

My only Son bore all the pain.


Life is pain, life is sorrow

Know the sun will rise tomorrow.

I try my people to be sure

That their hearts are clean and pure.


Off to Carthage as a lamb

Both brothers soon would meet I AM.

They sealed their word with precious blood

A witness of their greatest good.


Together from beginning to end

Their final act one must commend.

Brothers they will always be

For they live on eternally.
