[Verse 1] Workers repaired the neglected house, Silver was counted and placed in their hand. Hilkiah found what the years had concealed: The Book of the Law and the old command. Shaphan read words to the king in the chamber; Josiah tore garments and trembled with dread. Great wrath was kindled because their fathers Had not done all that the covenant said. [Chorus] The book was found, But the words found them. Dust left the scroll, And truth entered men. The book was found, And the king bowed low; What generations buried Began to overthrow. [Verse 2] Huldah confirmed that the judgment was coming, Yet Josiah's heart had been tender and torn. He gathered the elders and people together, Read every word from the night into morn. A covenant followed before the Lord's pillar; The people stood to it with voice and will. Idols were broken, high places polluted, False priests removed from the valley and hill. [Bridge] Passover rose as it had not for ages, Memory returned at the table of grace. No king before him turned with such devotion, With heart, soul, and might toward the covenant place. [Final Chorus] The book was found, And reform swept the land. Yet judgment long planted Still waited at hand. The book was found; Let every age know: Truth may lie covered, But never cease to glow.
