Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns, for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 1841

Hymn 270
8 7 8 7
1. See the mighty angel flying!
See he speeds his way to earth,
To proclaim the blessed gospel,
And restore the ancient faith.

2. Hear O men! the proclamation,
Cease from vanity and strife
Hasten to receive the gospel
And believe the words of life.

3. Soon the earth will hear the warning,
Then the judgments will descend;
Oh! before those days of sorrow
Make the Lord of Hosts your friend.

4. Then when dangers are around you,
And the wicked are distressed;
You, with all the saints in Zion,
Shall enjoy eternal rest.
