For the Times and Seasons
Times and Seasons, vol. 4, p. 335
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
Come listen to a prophet's voice, The Savior to his people said,
And hear the word of God; "Let ALL my words obey,
And in the ways of truth rejoice, And signs shall follow you on earth,
And sing for joy aloud. Down to the latest day."
CHORUS
We've found the way the prophets went, The sick, on whom the oil is pour'd,
Who lived in days before; And hands in meekness laid,
Another prophet now is sent Are, by the power of God, restor'd
This knowledge to restore. Thro faith, as Jesus said.
The gloom of sullen darkness, spread No more in slavish fear we mourn;
Through earth's extended space, No yoke of bondage wear;
Is banished by our living head, No more beneath delusion groan;
And God has shown his face. Nor superstitious fear.
Through erring schemes in days that past Of every dispensation past;
The world has gone astray, Of every promise made;
Yet saints of God have found at last The fist be last, the last be first-
The straight and narrow way. The living and the dead.
Tis not in man they put their trust, Saviors shall to Mount Zion come-
Or on his arm rely; Their thousands bring to rest
Full well assured, all are accursed Throughout the great Millennium-
Whom Jesus Christ deny. They Eternally be bles't.
