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 their tidings are!
"Zion, behold thy Saviour King,
He reigns and triumphs here."
How happy are our ears
That hear the joyful sound,
Which kings and princes waited for,
And sought, but never found!
How blessed are our eyes
That see the heavenly light!
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But died without the sight.
You watchmen join your voice,
And tuneful notes employ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,
Ye deserts learn the joy.
O Lord make bare thy arm,
Through all the earth abroad!
Let every nation now behold
Their Saviour and their God.
Glory to God on high!
And peace o'er all the earth;
Good will to men--to angels joy
At our Redeemer's birth!
