The Glorious Gospel Light Has Shone

Lyrics

1. 1. The glorious gospel light has shone

   In this the latter day

   With such intelligence that none

   From truth need turn away.

   The precious things which had been sealed

   And from the world kept hid,

   The Lord has to his Saints revealed

   As anciently he did.

2. 2. And thru the priesthood now restored

   Again prepared the way

   Thru which the dead may hear his word

   And all his laws obey.

   As Christ to spirits went to preach

   Who were to prison led,

   So many Saints have gone to teach

   The gospel to the dead.

3. 3. And we for them can be baptized,

   Yes, for our friends most dear,

   That they can with the just be raised

   When Gabriel’s trump they hear;

   That they may come with Christ again

   When he to earth descends,

   A thousand years with him to reign,

   And with their earthly friends.

4. 4. Now, O ye Saints, rejoice today

   That you can saviors be

   Of all your dead who will obey

   The gospel and be free.

   Then let us rise without restraint

   And act for those we love,

   For they are giving their consent

   And wait for us to move.
