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.
