How beauteous are their feet

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.

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.

Whence did this glorious Troop arrive At the pure Realms of Heav'nly Light? 2 From tott'ring Racks and burning Fires, And Seas of their own Blood they came: But nobler Blood has wash'd their Robes, Flowing from Christ the dying Lamb. 3 Now they approach th' Almighty Throne With loud Hosannas Night and Day; Sweet Anthems to the Great Three One, Measure their blest Eternity. 4 No more shall Hunger pain their Souls, He bids their parching Thirst be gone, And spreads the Shadow of his Wings, To screen 'em from the scorching Sun. 5 The Lamb that fills the Middle Throne Shall shed around his milder Beams; There shall they feast on his rich Love, And drink full Joys from living Streams. 6 Thus shall their mighty Bliss renew Through the vast Round of endless Years, And the soft Hand of Sov'reign Grace Heals all their Wounds, and wipes their Tears.
