==Lyrics from [[A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Use of the Latter Day Saints, 1844]]==
1. The spirit of God like a fire is burning;<br>
The latter day glory begins to come forth;<br>
The visions and blessings of old are returning:<br>
The angels are coming to visit the earth,<br>
We'll sing and we'll shout with the armies of heaven;<br>
Hosanna, Hosanna to God and the Lamb!<br>
Let glory to them in the highest be given,<br>
Henceforth and forever, amen and amen.

2. The Lord is extending the saints' understanding -<br>
Restoring their judges and all as at first;<br>
The knowledge and power of God are expanding,<br>
The vail o'er the earth is beginning to burst.<br>
We'll sing and we'll shout with the armies of heaven;<br>
Hosanna, Hosanna to God and the Lamb!<br>
Let glory to them in the highest be given,<br>
Henceforth and forever, amen and amen.

3. We call, in our solemn assemblies, in spirit,<br>
To spread forth the kingdom of heaven abroad,<br>
That we through our faith may begin to inherit<br>
The visions, and blessings, and glories of God.<br>
We'll sing and we'll shout with the armies of heaven;<br>
Hosanna, Hosanna to God and the Lamb!<br>
Let glory to them in the highest be given,<br>
Henceforth and forever, amen and amen.

4. We'll wash and be washed, and with oil be anointed,<br>
Withal not omitting the washing of feet;<br>
For he that receiveth his PENNY appointed,<br>
Must surely be clean at the harvest of wheat.<br>
We'll sing and we'll shout with the armies of heaven;<br>
Hosanna, Hosanna to God and the Lamb!<br>
Let glory to them in the highest be given,<br>
Henceforth and forever, amen and amen.

5. Old Israel that fled from the world for his freedom,<br>
Must come with the cloud and the pillar amain.<br>
A Moses, and Aaron, and Joshua lead him,<br>
And feed him on manna from heaven again.<br>
We'll sing and we'll shout with the armies of heaven;<br>
Hosanna, Hosanna to God and the Lamb!<br>
Let glory to them in the highest be given,<br>
Henceforth and forever, amen and amen.

6. How blessed the day when the lamb and the lion<br>
Shall lie down together without any ire;<br>
And Ephraim be crowned with his blessings in Zion,<br>
As Jesus descends with his chariots of fire!<br>
We'll sing and we'll shout with HIS armies, of heaven;<br>
Hosanna, Hosanna to God and the Lamb!<br>
Let glory to them in the highest be given,<br>
Henceforth and forever, amen and amen.
