The following comes from pp.11-12 (#5) of the first (1835/1836) hymnal of the Church. While re-reading the hymnal recently, the use of Dan 2 stood out (cf. D&C 65:2):
1. The time is nigh that happy
time,
That great, expected, blessed
day,
When countless thousands of our
race,
Shall dwell with Christ and him
obey.
2. The prophecies must be
fulfil'd
Though earth and hell should dare
oppose,
The stone out of the mountain
cut,
Though unobserved, a kingdom
grows.
3. Soon shall be the blended
image fall,
Brass, silver, iron, gold and
clay;
And superstition's dreadful
reign,
To light and liberty give way.
4. In one sweet symphony of
praise,
The Jews and Gentiles will unite;
And infidelity, o'ercome,
Return again to endless night.
5. From east to west, from north
to south,
The Savior's kingdom shall
extend,
And every man in every place,
Shall meet a brother and a friend.
