Most of the lyrics center around an account of the appearance of Jesus Christ to people of the American continent many centuries ago.
*(in the Book of Mormon)
PART ONE
Press forward: Feast of the word of Christ;
Behold you shall have eternal life.
Hold to the rod: the word of God;
Behold the tree of the love of God.
We like sheep had gone astray,
Turning from the chosen way.
Turn again. Turn to God.
While the Shepherd seeks a stray,
Father, help us keep to the Way.
Now comes a still small voice.
Behold my Son, my Beloved Son:
Come unto Him for eternal life.
Behold His hands, his feet and side:
For you he bled and died.
Turn to Him. Come unto Christ.
Come to Him.
PART TWO
Now comes a man in white.
I am Jesus Christ. Come to me.
I am the light and the life of the world.
I have been slain for the sins of the world.
Feel the wounds in my hands and my feet and side.
See with your eyes; feel with your hands.
Come to me.
