LyicsHow beauteous are their feet
Who stand on Zion's hill!
Who bring salvation on their tongues,
And words of peace reveal!
How charming is their voice!
How sweet the tiding are!
"Zion, behold thy Savior King!
He reigns and triumphs here."
How happy are our ears
That hear this joyful sound,
Which kings and prophets waited for,
And sought, but never found!
How blessed are our eyes
That see this heavenly light!
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But died without the sight.
The watchmen join thier voice,
And tuneful notes employ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in song,
And deserts learn the joy.
