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 hilla sacred record is conceal’d;Lo, in Cumorah’s lonely hillA 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 hilla sacred record is conceal’d;Lo, in Cumorah’s lonely hillA sacred 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 lonely hilla sacred record is conceal’d;Lo, in Cumorah’s lonely hillA 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 hilla sacred record is conceal’d;Lo, in Cumorah’s lonely hillA sacred 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 lonely hilla sacred record is conceal’d;Lo, in Cumorah’s lonely hillA sacred record is conceal’d.
