1. An angel from on high, The long, long, silence broke; Descending from the sky, These precious words he spoke:
Lo, in Cumorah’s hill, Lo, in Cumorah’s hill A sacred record is conceal’d, A record is conceal’d.
2. Sealed by Moroni’s hand, It has for ages lain, To wait the Lord’s command, From dust to speak again.
Lo, in Cumorah’s hill, Lo, in Cumorah’s hill A sacred record is conceal’d, A record is conceal’d.
3. It speaks of Joseph’s seed, And makes the remnant known Of nations long since dead, Who once had dwelt alone.
Lo, in Cumorah’s hill, Lo, in Cumorah’s hill A sacred record is conceal’d, A record is conceal’d.
4. The time is now fulfilled, The long expected day; Let earth obedience yield, And darkness flee away;
Lo, in Cumorah’s hill, Lo, in Cumorah’s hill A sacred record is conceal’d, A record is conceal’d.
5. Lo, Israel filled with joy, Shall now be gathered home, Their wealth and means employ To build Jerusalem;
Lo, in Cumorah’s hill, Lo, in Cumorah’s hill A sacred record is conceal’d, A record is conceal’d.
