Lo! in Cumorah's lonely hill A sacred record lies concealed. 2 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. 3 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.
