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