1. An angel from on high
The long, long silence broke;
Descending from the sky
These gracious words he spoke:
Lo! in Cumorah’s lonely hill
A sacred record lies concealed
Lo! in Cumorah’s lonely hill
A sacred record lies concealed
2. Sealed by Moroni’s hand
It has for ages lain
To wait the Lord’s command
From dust to speak again
It shall again to light come forth
To usher in Christ’s reign on earth
It shall again to light come forth
To usher in Christ’s reign on earth
3. It speaks of Joseph’s seed
And makes the remnant known
Of nations long since dead
Who once had dwelt alone
The fulness of the gospel, too
Its pages will reveal to view
The fulness of the gospel, too
Its pages will reveal to view
4. The time is now fulfilled
The long-expected day;
Let earth obedience yield
And darkness flee away
Remove the seals; be wide unfurled
Its light and glory to the world
Remove the seals; be wide unfurled
Its light and glory to the world
5. Lo! Israel filled with joy
Shall now be gathered home
Their wealth and means employ
To build Jerusalem
While Zion shall arise and shine
And fill the earth with truth divine
While Zion shall arise and shine
And fill the earth with truth divine
