MISSION OF THE TWELVE BY P. P. PRATT
How fleet the precious moments roll How soon the harvest will be o'er The watchmen seek their final rest And lift a warning voice no more
Another year has rolld away And took its thousands to the tomb Its sorrows and its Joys are fled To hasten on the gen'ral doom
And eighteen hundred thirty five Is rolling swiftly on the wing And soon the the leaves and tae^n^drils thrives A token of returning spring
The fulness of the gospel shines With glorious and resplendent rays The earth and heavens show forth their signs As tokens of the latter days
Ye chosen twelve to you are given The keys of this last ministry To every nation under heaven From land to land from sea to sea
First to the gentiles sounds the news Throughout Columbia's happy land And then before it reach the Jews Prepare on Europe's shores to stand
Another year has rolld away And took its thousands to the tomb Its sorrows and its joys are fled To hasten on the gen'ral doom
And eighteen hundred thirty five Is rolling swiftly on the wing And soon the the leaves and tendrils thrives A token of returning spring
