Lyrics to the hymn sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir at 04:58:

On great, lone hills, where tempests brood and gather,
Primeval Earth, against primeval sky,
We, faring forth, possessed by fervent longing,
Have found a throne, eternal and high,
Have knelt at last in wordless adoration,
Till fire and whirlwind have both gone by.
With ardent song we greet the golden morning.
By faith upborne, remember not the night.
The whole wide world, triumphant hails the dawning.
God walks abroad in garments of might,
The hills, behold, are now a path of splendor,
Transfigured all, and all crowned with light.

(These are not the lyrics acknowledged by Sibelius, but the singing is still wonderful! I've posted the lyrics because the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is not known for their diction)
