1. The glorious gospel light has shone In this the latter day With such intelligence that none From truth need turn away. The precious things which had been sealed And from the world kept hid, The Lord has to his Saints revealed As anciently he did.

2. And thru the priesthood now restored Again prepared the way Thru which the dead may hear his word And all his laws obey. As Christ to spirits went to preach Who were to prison led, So many Saints have gone to teach The gospel to the dead.

3. And we for them can be baptized, Yes, for our friends most dear, That they can with the just be raised When Gabriel’s trump they hear; That they may come with Christ again When he to earth descends, A thousand years with him to reign, And with their earthly friends.

4. Now, O ye Saints, rejoice today That you can saviors be Of all your dead who will obey The gospel and be free. Then let us rise without restraint And act for those we love, For they are giving their consent And wait for us to move.
