What Was Witnessed in the Heavens?

Author: John S. Davis, 1813–1882 Hymnal: LDS1985 #11 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1. What was witnessed in the heavens? Why, an angel earthward bound. Had he something with him bringing? Yes, the gospel, joyful sound! It was to be preached in power On the earth, the angel said, To all men, all tongues and nations That upon its face are spread. 2. Had we not before the gospel? Yes, it came of old to men. Then what is this latter gospel? ’Tis the first one come again. This was preached by Paul and Peter And by Jesus Christ, the Head. This we latter Saints are preaching; We their footsteps wish to tread. 3. Where so long has been the gospel? Did it pass from earth away? Yes, ’twas taken back to heaven Till should dawn a brighter day. What became of those departed, Knowing not the gospel plan? In the spirit world they’ll hear it; God is just to ev’ry man.

An Angel from on High

Author: Parley P. Pratt, 1807–1857 Hymnal: LDS1985 #13 (1985) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 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 lies concealed. Lo! in Cumorah’s lonely hill A sacred record lies concealed. 2. Sealed by Moroni’s hand, It has for ages lain To wait the Lord’s command, From dust to speak again. It shall again to light come forth To usher in Christ’s reign on earth. It shall again to light come forth To usher in Christ’s reign on earth. 3. It speaks of Joseph’s seed And makes the remnant known Of nations long since dead, Who once had dwelt alone. The fulness of the gospel, too, Its pages will reveal to view. The fulness of the gospel, too, Its pages will reveal to view. 4. The time is now fulfilled, The long-expected day; Let earth obedience yield And darkness flee away. Remove the seals; be wide unfurled Its light and glory to the world. Remove the seals; be wide unfurled Its light and glory to the world. 5. Lo! Israel filled with joy Shall now be gathered home, Their wealth and means employ To build Jerusalem, While Zion shall arise and shine And fill the earth with truth divine. While Zion shall arise and shine And fill the earth with truth divine. Topics: Book of Mormon; Gathering of Israel; Restoration; Restoration of the Gospel Languages: English Tune Title: CUMORAH

Sweet Is the Peace the Gospel Brings

Author: Mary Ann Morton, 1826–1897 Hymnal: LDS1985 #14 (1985) Lyrics: 1. Sweet is the peace the gospel brings To seeking minds and true. With light refulgent on its wings, It clears the human view. 2. Its laws and precepts are divine And show a Father’s care. Transcendent love and mercy shine In each injunction there. 3. Faithless tradition flees its pow’r, And unbelief gives way. The gloomy clouds, which used to low’r, Submit to reason’s sway. 4. May we who know the sacred Name From every sin depart. Then will the Spirit’s constant flame Preserve us pure in heart. 5. Ere long the tempter’s power will cease, And sin no more annoy, No wrangling sects disturb our peace, Or mar our heartfelt joy. 6. That which we have in part received Will be in part no more, For he in whom we all believe To us will all restore. 7. In patience, then, let us possess Our souls till he appear. On to our mark of calling press; Redemption draweth near.

We feel it a pleasure to serve thee And love to obey thy command. 2. When dark clouds of trouble hang o’er us And threaten our peace to destroy, There is hope smiling brightly before us, And we know that deliv’rance is nigh. We doubt not the Lord nor his goodness. We’ve proved him in days that are past. The wicked who fight against Zion Will surely be smitten at last. 3. We’ll sing of his goodness and mercy. We’ll praise him by day and by night, Rejoice in his glorious gospel, And bask in its life-giving light. Thus on to eternal perfection The honest and faithful will go, While they who reject this glad message Shall never such happiness know.
