“Sing Unto the Lord”

Bryan Richards

In the millennial day, the saints will sing praises to the Lord. The D&C describes the song of the Lamb, ’the Lamb…shall stand upon Mount Zion, and upon the holy city, the New Jerusalem; and they shall sing the song of the Lamb, day and night forever and ever’ (DC 133:56). This “song of the Lamb” is recorded in DC 84, ’Until all shall know me, who remain, even from the least unto the greatest, and shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord, and shall see eye to eye, and shall lift up their voice, and with the voice together sing this new song, saying:

The Lord hath brought again Zion;

The Lord hath redeemed his people, Israel,

According to the election of grace,

Which was brought to pass by the faith

And covenant of their fathers.

The Lord hath redeemed his people;

And Satan is bound and time is no longer.

The Lord hath gathered all things in one.

The Lord hath brought down Zion from above.

The Lord hath brought up Zion from beneath.

The earth hath travailed and brought forth her strength;

And truth is established in her bowels;

And the heavens have smiled upon her;

And she is clothed with the glory of her God;

For he stands in the midst of his people.

Glory, and honor, and power, and might,

Be ascribed to our God; for he is full of mercy,

Justice, grace and truth, and peace,

Forever and ever, Amen.’ (DC 84:98-102)

Isaiah prophesies that the Millenial chorus will ’Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things.‘ The ’excellent things’ Isaiah refers to are described in these foreordained lyrics:
