See the Mighty Priesthood Gathered

 


Lyrics

  1. 1. See the mighty priesthood gathered;

    Firm in serried ranks they stand—

    Son and father jointly serving,

    Gathered in from ev’ry land.

    Proud their voices blend together,

    Raising hymns to Father’s praise,

    Sending forth the gospel message

    As restored in latter days.

  2. 2. As to Seth his father, Adam,

    Pow’rful precepts did impart,

    Humbly each receives the message

    Spoken from a prophet’s heart.

    Line on line, truth is revealed,

    Till all darkness flees away

    In the face of perfect knowledge,

    Where celestial laws hold sway.

  3. 3. Come, ye sons, and walk uprightly,

    As your noble fathers trod—

    Bearers of the Savior’s priesthood,

    Holding firm the iron rod—

    Till Satan’s pow’rs are vanquished,

    Bound in chains he conquered lies,

    And our glorious hallelujahs

    Loudly sound across the skies,

    And our glorious hallelujahs

    Loudly sound, loudly sound across the skies.
