Hymnal: Living Hymns #382 (1890) First Line: On the mountain's top appearing Lyrics: 1 On the mountain's top appearing,
Lo! the sacred herald stands,
Welcome news to Zion bearing--
Zion long in hostile lands;
Mourning captive!
God himself will loose thy bands;
2 Has thy night been long and mournful,
All thy friends unfaithful proved?
Have thy foes been proud and scornful,
By thy sighs and tears unmoved?
Cease thy mourning;
Zion still is well beloved.
3 God, thy God, will now restore thee,
He himself appears thy friend;
All thy foes shall flee before thee,
Here their boasts and triumphs end;
Great deliverance
Zion's King will surely send.
4 Peace and joy shall now attend thee,
All thy warfare now is past,
God, thy Saviour, shall defend thee,
Peace and joy are come at last;
All thy conflicts
End in everlasting rest. Languages: English
