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 is conceal’d;
Lo, in Cumorah’s lonely hill
A sacred 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 lonely hill
a sacred record is conceal’d;
Lo, in Cumorah’s lonely hill
A sacred 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 lonely hill
a sacred record is conceal’d;
Lo, in Cumorah’s lonely hill
A sacred 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 lonely hill
a sacred record is conceal’d;
Lo, in Cumorah’s lonely hill
A sacred 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 lonely hill
a sacred record is conceal’d;
Lo, in Cumorah’s lonely hill
A sacred record is conceal’d.
