Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 715 hymnals Topics: The Blessedness of Gospel Times Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet, Who stand on Zion's hill, Who brings salvation on their tongues And words of peace reveal! 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour 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 heav'nly light! Prophets and saints desir'd 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 Thro' all the earth abroad; Let every nation now behold Their Saviour and their God.

The Lord our God builds up His Church, He seeks her wand'ring sons; He binds their wounds and gently leads, The brokenhearted ones. 2 Our Lord is great, He calls by name And counts the stars of night; His wisdom is unsearchable, And wondrous is His might. The Lord upholds the poor and meek, He brings the wicked low; Sing praise to Him and give Him thanks And all His goodness show. 3 No human might, no earthly pride Delights the Lord above; In those who fear Him He delights, In those that trust His love. O Zion, praise the Lord thy God, His wondrous love confess; He is thy glory and thy strength, He will thy children bless. Scripture: Psalm 147 Used With Tune: MINERVA

And all my rising bones shall say, Lord, who is like to Thee! 6 If such the views which grace unfolds, Weak as it is below, What raptures must the Church above, In Jesus' presence know.
