1 Behold! The mountain of the Lord
in latter days shall rise
on mountain tops above the hills,
and draw the wondering eyes.
2 The beam that shines from Zion hill
shall lighten every land;
the king who reigns in Salem's towers
shall all the world command.
3 Among the nations he shall judge,
with judgements true shall guide;
his sceptre shall protect the just,
and quell the sinner's pride.
4 No strife shall rage, nor hostile feuds
disturb those peaceful years;
to ploughshares all shall beat their swords,
to pruning-hooks their spears.
5 No longer hosts encountering hosts
shall crowds of slain deplore:
they hang the trumpet in the hall,
and study war no more.
6 Come then, O come from every land
to worship at God's shrine;
and, walking in the radiant light,
with holy beauties shine.
