Truth Eternal, Truth Divine

Latter-day Saint Hymns, 322


1. Truth eternal, truth divine! In thine ancient fulness shine; Burst the fetters of the mind From the millions of mankind, Set the longing nations free, Give the world a jubilee.

2. Ages past have owned Thy sway, Prophets hailed Thy joyful day; In thy cause in days of yore, Battlefields were stained with gore, Saints and seers and heroes fought, Men and angels wonders wrought.

3. Truth again restored to earth, Opened with a Prophet’s birth. Priests of heaven’s royal line, Bearing keys of truth divine, Wide o’er earth the tidings flew, Truth into a kingdom grew.

4. Truth shall triumph as the light, Chases far the misty night, Hurl the tyrant from his throne, Conquer death, and reign alone, Endless ages own its sway, Clad in everlasting day.
