The words
Verse 1. How beauteous are their feet
Who stand on Zion’s hill;
Who bring salvation on their tongues
And words of peace reveal!
Verse 2. How charming is their voice!
How sweet their tidings are!
“Zion, behold thy Savior-King!
He reigns and triumphs here.”
Verse 3. How happy are our ears
That hear this joyful sound
Which kings and prophets waited for
And sought, but never found!
Verse 4. How blessed are our eyes
That see this heavenly light!
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But died without the sight.
Verse 5. The watchmen join their voice
And tuneful notes employ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,
And deserts learn the joy.
Verse 6. The Lord makes bare His arm
Through all the earth abroad.
Let every nation now behold
Their Savior and their God.
