Doctrine and Covenants D&C 84:98
"and shall see eye to eye, and shall lift up their voice, and with the voice together sing this new song"
Old Testament Isaiah 52:8
"Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion."

Shared words: shall see eye to eye

Three clauses shared, in reversed order: the revelation sees first and sings last, Isaiah sings first and sees last. The revelation drops Isaiah's watchmen and adds 'this new song'; Isaiah's closing clause reappears as the song's first line at D&C 84:99 ('The Lord hath brought again Zion'), a tense shift from future to perfect. 'see eye to eye' stands at seven distinct frozen verses in the corpus, five of them Book of Mormon carriers quoting the Isaiah verse more fully — disclosed, not paired.
