Text:
Oh, to have been in Kirtland
When the veil was opened wide,
To see the Savior standing
In the air, and there abide.

To hear the great Jehovah,
Rushing waters as His voice,
Proclaiming sins forgiven:
"Lift your heads and so rejoice."

The temple was accepted
As a holy House of God,
Endowing saints with power
So to spread His Word abroad.

Oh, to have been in Kirtland
Seeing Moses there appear,
Committing keys to gather
Those of Israel, far and near.

Elias and Elijah
There proclaimed a blessing sure
For future generations
And for those who went before.

The saints would be perfected
By the covenants they made,
And reaching out to others
Who had lost their way or strayed.

Oh, to have been in Kirtland,
Visions glorious to see,
To know the restoration
Of the gospel makes men free.

The Lord will meet His servants
In the House that bears His name,
There pouring out a blessing
Only the righteous can claim.

And if we still are worthy
To commandments given there,
Our temples will be a refuge
From all our trouble and care.
