Joseph returned to Kirtland, and announced the building of the House of the Lord, a temple to God. the plan was magnificent in design but financially out of reach of the poverty stricken Saints. Notwithstanding the church was poor, Joseph observed as Latter-day Saints began to build the imposing edifice
And notwithstanding the threats of the mob, the temple construction went steadily forward. The Kirtland temple was finished and dedicated. As on the day of Pentecost, the Holy Ghost was profusely poured out. The congregation sang out, the spirit of god like a fire is burning, and the saints shouted hosanna to God and the Lamb
The Spirit of God like a fire is burning!
The latter-day glory begins to come forth;
The visions and blessings of old are returning
And angels are coming to visit the earth
We’ll sing and we’ll shout with the armies of heaven
Hosanna, hosanna to God and the Lamb!
Let glory to them in the highest be given
Henceforth and forever, Amen and amen!
We’ll call in our solemn assemblies in spirit
To spread forth the kingdom of heaven abroad
That we through our faith may begin to inherit
The visions and blessings and glories of God
We’ll sing and we’ll shout with the armies of heaven
Hosanna, hosanna to God and the Lamb!
Let glory to them in the highest be given
Henceforth and forever, Amen and amen!
How blessed the day when the lamb and the lion
Shall lie down together without any ire
And Ephraim be crowned with his blessing in Zion
As Jesus descends with his chariot of fire!
We’ll sing and we’ll shout with the armies of heaven
Hosanna, hosanna to God and the Lamb!
Let glory to them in the highest be given
Henceforth and forever, Amen and amen!
