Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Use of the Latter Day Saints, 1844
1. This earth shall be a blessed place,
To saints celestial given;
Where Christ again shall show his face,
With the redeemed of Adam's race,
In clouds descend from heaven.
2. Yes, when he comes on earth again,
The wicked burn as stubble;
Thus all his enemies are slain,
And o'er the nations he shall reign,
And end the scenes of trouble.
3. The trump of war is heard no more,
But all their strife is ended;
While Jesus shall all things restore
To order, as they were before,
And peace o'er all extended.
4. Sing, O ye heavens! let earth rejoice,
While saints shall flow to Zion,
And rear the temple of his choice,
And in its courts unite their voice,
In praise of Judah's Lion.
5. Hosanna to the reign of peace!
The day so long expected:
When earth shall find a full release,
The groanings of creation cease,
The righteous well protected.
6. Come, sound his praise in joyful strains,
Who dwell beneath his banner;
He'll bind old Satan fast in chains,
And wide o'er earth's extended plains,
The nations shout HOSANNA.

Hymn 188 8 7 8 8 7 1. This earth shall be a blessed place, To saints celestial given, Where Christ again shall show his face, With the redeemed of Adam's race, In clouds descend from heaven. 2. Yes, when he comes on earth again, The wicked burn as stubble; Thus all his enemies are slain, And o'er the nations he shall reign, And end the scenes of trouble. 3. The trump of war is heard no more, But all their strife is ended, While Jesus shall all things restore To order, as they were before, And peace o'er all extended. 4. Sing, O ye heavens! let earth rejoice, While saints shall flow to Zion, And rear the temple of his choice, And in its courts unite their voice, In praise to Judah's Lion. 5. Hosanna to the reign of peace, The day so long expected; When earth shall find a full release, The groanings of creation cease, The righteous well protected. 6. Come, sound his praise in joyful strains, Who dwell beneath his banner; He'll bind old Satan fast in chains, And wide o'er earth's extended plains The nations shout Hosanna.
