| ==Lyrics from [[A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Use of the Latter Day Saints, 1844]]==
| |
| 1. How often in sweet meditation my mind,<br>
| |
| Where solitude reigned and aside from mankind,<br>
| |
| Has dwelt on the hour, when the Savior did deign,<br>
| |
| To call me his servant to publish his name.
| |
| | |
| 2. To lift up my voice and proclaim the glad news,<br>
| |
| First unto the Gentiles, and then to the Jews;<br>
| |
| That Jesus Messiah in clouds will descend,<br>
| |
| Destroy the ungodly, the righteous defend.
| |
| | |
| 3. How rich is the treasure, ye servants of God,<br>
| |
| Entrusted to us as made known by his word;<br>
| |
| The plan of salvation, the gospel of grace,<br>
| |
| To publish abroad unto Adam's lost race.
| |
| | |
| 4. O gladly we'll go to the isles and proclaim;<br>
| |
| And nations unknown then shall hear of his fame;<br>
| |
| Yea, kingdoms, and countries, both Gentiles and Jews<br>
| |
| Shall see us, and hear us proclaim the glad news.
| |
| | |
| 5. And millions shall turn to the Lord and rejoice,<br>
| |
| That they have made Jesus the Savior their choice;<br>
| |
| From the north and the south, from the east and the west,<br>
| |
| We'll bring home our thousands in Zion to rest.
| |
| | |
| 6. As clouds see them fly to their glorious home -<br>
| |
| As doves to their windows in flocks see them come,<br>
| |
| While empires shall tremble and kingdoms shall rend,<br>
| |
| And thrones be cast down as wise Daniel proclaimed.
| |
| | |
| 7. And Israel shall flourish and spread far abroad,<br>
| |
| Till earth shall be full of the knowledge of God;<br>
| |
| And thus shall the stone of the mountain roll forth -<br>
| |
| Extend its dominions and fill the whole earth.
