22 And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!
23 For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father—
24 That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God.
Sonnet 490 D&C 76: 22-24
The voice I’ve heard is not the voice of man
But such as only heart and soul can feel
Yet stronger and more true than any plan
Devised to prove that something else is real.
And so because of this I know it’s true
The testimony of this Joseph Smith
A declaration meant to best renew
The faith that Christ is not some ancient myth.
And since, the witnesses have multiplied
Until in millions saints affirm the Christ
And though they each have truly testified
Still, for the rest, it does not yet suffice.
Each must just ask to hear from Him that gives
The voice, at last, that testifies: He lives!
