Standard of Truth

“The Standard of Truth has been erected.No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing. Persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame. But the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly and independent til it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country and sounded in every ear. Until the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the Great Jehovah will say: The work is done.”

and in Spanish

Quote:

“El Estandar de la Verdad se ha erguido. Ninguna mano impia detendra el progreso de la obra. Persecuciones se encarnizaran, el populacho se combinara, los ejercitos podran juntarse, la calumnia podra difamar. Pero la verdad de Dios seguira adelante valerosa, noble e independiente hasta que haya penetrado todo continente, visitado todo clima, abarcado toda region y resonado en todo oido. Hasta que se cumplan los propositos de Dios y el Gran Jehova diga: La obra esta cumplida.”

As I understand it, this text is from the Wentworth Letter (by Joseph Smith, also where the Articles of Faith came from), and is also the mission statement for LDS missionaries. It’s found published in History of the Church 4:540.
