Doctrine and covenants 29:11 ...

11 For I will reveal myself from heaven with power and great glory, with all the hosts thereof, and dwell in righteousness with man on earth a thousand years, and the wicked shall not stand.

Micah 4:3-5 ...

3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
4 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it.
5 For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.

Introduction (full verse) & 3 verses:

Verse 1:
Let earth's inhabitants rejoice
And gladly hail the glorious hour,
Again is heard a prophet's voice,
And all may feel the gospel's pow'r.

Verse 2:
The blissful time will soon arrive,
The day by holy men foretold,
When man no more with man will strive,
And all in each a friend behold.

Verse 3:
Oppression will no more be found,
Nor tyrant hold relentless sway,
But love to God and man abound
Thruout the long millennial day.

The indication is that this should be played Majestically, so I've opened up most of the Big Marc. It would be nice to imagine a thousand or more voices singing along!
