1 Nephi 13

|

The kingdoms and nations of Gentiles rise
Among them is formed a Great Church 
A church of the devil who slayeth the saints 
For gold, silver and harlots its search

A man among Gentiles is wrought on by God
Setting forth upon waters so wide 
The Gentiles come forth to the promised land 
The seed of his brethren cannot hide

Scattered and smitten the remnant are cast
But endure with the hope of much more 
The words of the Jews in a book cometh forth 
The promise of God lay in Store

Though pure from the mouth of the Jews it comes
The great great and abdominal sham
Has taken away the precious and plain 
From the Gospel of Christ the Lamb

But the merciful arm of the Lord is revealed 
To the Jew and the Gentile as one 
A book from the dust rises forth with the truth 
His gospel and plan of salvation

The words of the Jews and the word’s of his seed
Coming forth to enlighten the way 
Establishing truth of the first and the last 
Publish peace and glad tidings today

The time cometh forth that He’ll show Himself 
Unto Jew and Gentile as well 
The last shall be first and the first shall be last
Beautiful upon the hill
