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 hillA 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 hillA sacred record is conceal’d,A record is conceal’d.
3. It speaks of Joseph’s seed,And makes the remnant knownOf nations long since dead,Who once had dwelt alone.
Lo, in Cumorah’s hill,Lo, in Cumorah’s hillA 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 hillA 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 employTo build Jerusalem;
Lo, in Cumorah’s hill,Lo, in Cumorah’s hillA sacred record is conceal’d,A record is conceal’d.
