How Beauteous Are Their Feet

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 715 hymnals Topics: Holy Scripture Lyrics: 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!

See Thee, know Thee, as Thou art! Amen. Used With Tune: S. CATHERINE
