Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Europe, 1840
Hymn 195 L.M. 1. An holy angel from on high The joyful message now has borne, Which brings our longing spirits nigh, To bow and worship near the throne. 2. Mercy and truth together meet, And joy and peace, with fond embrace; The earth and heavens each other greet, Their offspring truth and righteousness. 3. Lo! from the heavens comes righteousness, And truth from earth exulting springs; These, joined in one, shall Israel bless, Born as it were on angels' wings. 4. Wide round the earth the echo flies, From their long sleep the nations wake; The righteous shout with glad surprise, While the ungodly fear and quake. 5. Thus truth shall spread through every clime, And Israel's tribes be gathered home, And watch for the appointed time, And see the great Messiah come.
Lyrics from Latter-day Saints Psalmody, 1889
Hymn 18 1. A holy angel from on high The joyful message made known, Which brings our longing spirits nigh, To bow and worship near the throne. 2. Together truth and mercy meet, And joy and peace, with fond embrace; The earth and heaven with gladness greet, Their offspring truth and righteousness. 3. Lo! from the heavens comes righteousness, And truth from earth exulting springs; These joined in one shall Israel bless, Born as it were on eagle's wings.
