Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Use of the Latter Day Saints, 1844

1. The great and glorious gospel light
Has ushered forth into my sight,
Which in my soul I have received,
Which in my soul I have received
From death and bondage being freed.

2. With saints below and saints above,
I'll join to praise the God I love;
Like Enoch, too, I will proclaim,
Like Enoch, too, I will proclaim,
A loud hosannah to his name.

3. Hosannah, let the echo fly
From pole to pole, from sky to sky,
And saints and angels, join to sing,
And saints and angels, join to sing,
Till all eternity shall ring.

4. Hosannah, let the voice extend,
Till time shall cease and have an end;
Till all the throngs of heav'n above,
Till all the throngs of heav'n above,
Shall join the saints in songs of love.

5. Hosannah, let the trump of God,
Proclaim his wonders far abroad,
And earth, and air, and skies, and seas,
And earth, and air, and skies, and seas,
Conspire to sound aloud his praise.
