"Oh, What Songs of the Heart" is a Mormon hymn, the text of which was written by Joseph L. Townsend, a Latter-day Saint poet who lived in the late 19th and early 20th century.
It is one of the few hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that implies the existence of a Heavenly Mother.
Oh, what songs of the heart We shall sing all the day, When again we assemble at home, When we meet ne'er to part With the blest o'er the way, There no more from our loved ones to roam!
Tho our rapture and bliss There's no song can express, We will shout, we will sing o'er and o'er, As we greet with a kiss, And with joy we caress All our loved ones that passed on before; As we greet with a kiss, In our rapture and bliss, All our love ones that passed on before.
And the heart swells with joy In embraces most dear When our heavenly parents we meet!
