Representative lyrics

English (Original Language)

1. ’Twas witnessed in the morning sky: An angel earthward bound. This messenger proclaimed anew The gospel’s joyful sound. In pow’r it would be preached on earth By men of God ordained; All men, all tongues, all nations would Accept and praise his name.

2. In ancient days the gospel plan Was giv’n of God to men; In latter days the gospel is Restored to earth again. By holy prophets long proclaimed, By Saints and seers adored, It speaks the everlasting truths Of Jesus Christ, the Lord.

3. Apostles of a former day To modern prophets came; They brought the priesthood of our Lord To bless the earth again. The pow’rs of heav’n are opened wide To men of God below; The knowledge, gifts, and keys are ours, All blessings to bestow.
