Sons of Michael, He Approaches (1856 version)
We believe in our God, the great Prince of his race,
The Archangel Michael, the Ancient of Days,
Our own Father Adam, earth's Lord as is plain,
Who'll counsel and fight for his children again.
We believe in His Son, Jesus Christ, who in love,
To his brethren and sisters, came down from above,
To die to redeem them from death, and to teach
To mortals and spirits the Gospel we preach.
We believe in the Spirit most holy, that's given
From God our great Father, who dwells high in heaven,
To instruct and enlighten, to comfort and cheer-
Tongues, dreams, visions, healings proclaim it is here
(41).
41) Sacred Hymns for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, 1856, 11th ed., p. 375. This hymn has been
deleted from present LDS hymnals. In the 20th ed. there
appeared a hymn titled, "Sons of Michael, He approaches."
In the second line Michael was described as the "eternal"
Father. In today's edition this has been changed to read
the "ancient" Father.
