The Spirit of God like a fire is burning!
The latter-day glory begins to come forth;
The visions and blessings of old are
returning,
And angels are coming to visit the earth.
Refrain:
We’ll sing and we’ll shout with the armies of
heaven,
Hosanna, hosanna to God and the Lamb!
Let glory to them in the highest be given,
Henceforth and forever, Amen and amen!
The Lord is extending the Saints’
understanding,
Restoring their judges and all as at first.
The knowledge and power of God are
expanding;
The veil o’er the earth is beginning to burst.
We’ll call in our solemn assemblies in
spirit,
To spread forth the kingdom of heaven
abroad,
That we through our faith may begin to
inherit
The visions and blessings and glories of
God.
How blessed the day when the lamb and
the lion
Shall lie down together without any ire,
And Ephraim be crowned with his blessing
in Zion,
As Jesus descends with his chariot of fire!
