LyicsBehold the mountain of the Lord
In lat-ter days shall rise
On mountain tops a-bove the hills,
And draw the wondering eyes,
And draw the wondering eyes.
To this the joyful nations round,
All tribes and tongues shall flow;
Up to the hill of God, they'll say,
And to his house we'll go!
The beam that shines from Zion hill
Shall lighten every land!
The King who reigns in Salem's towers
Shall all the world command.
No strife shall vex Messiah's reign,
Or mar the peaceful years,
To plowshares men shall beat their swords,
To pruning-hooks their spears.
No longer hosts, encountering hosts,
Their millions slain deplore;
They hang the trumpet in the hall,
And study war no more.
Come, then-oh come from every land,
To worship at his shrine;
And, walking in the light of God,
With holy beauties shine.
