Joel Hills Johnson (March 23, 1802 – September 24, 1883) was a Latter-day Saint (LDS) missionary and hymn writer, most famous as the author of “High on the Mountain Top” (hymn #5 in the 1985 LDS hymnbook, English edition). Johnson was also the founder of Enoch, Utah.
Johnson was a prolific poet and hymn writer. His journal contains 736 hymns.[1] Collections of his writings were published in the pamphlet “Voice from the Mountains” in 1881 and a 344 page book of poems in 1882. His most sung hymn “High on the Mountain Top” was written on February 19, 1853.[1] The only other hymn by Johnson in the current English edition of the LDS hymnbook is “The Glorious Gospel Light Has Shone” (hymn #283).
