That is a lie LDS never worship Joseph Smith.

It seems some never really read the lyric only the title

Praise to the man WHO communed with Jehovah!

In other words praise to the mortal man who communes with the Almight God!

BTW Emperor Palpatine thsoe who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

Should we sing hymns of praise to other great men such as Moses then too? lol. Only God is deserving of praise and hymns.

In other words praise to the mortal man who communes with the Almight God!

So you are still praising man. It may be fitting to say "blessed is the man to whom God revealed Himself" (J. Smith's visions however were false and he had many different version of them. God did not reveal Himself to Smith), but not "praise to the man." Praise implies adoration and worship.

Listen rusty you go to any Christian Church and there are no songs that praise a man.
Joseph Smith was a liar, a thief, a charlatan, he restored nothing as nothing need to be restored.
You want to pin your eternal soul on a man who was an admitted liar, thief charlatan, murder, adulator, pedophile .............go right ahead but do not tell me what I know to be true about mormonISM is wrong.
I get it, I know it, and it has destroyed members of my family. I know what mormonISM is and I loath it.
