Praise to the Man was a poem or a hymn written as a tribute to Joseph Smith, Jr. by Latter Day Saint leader and hymn writer William W. Phelps after Smith's death. The hymn was first published in the church newpaper Times and Seasons in August 1844, approximately one month after Smith was killed. Latter Day Saints (Mormons) consider Smith to have been a "prophet, seer, revelator, and translator". The hymn is still used in the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is hymn #27 in the current LDS Church hymnal.
