How beauteous are their feet

1

How beauteous are their feetWho stand on Zion's hill;Who bring salvation on their tongues,And words of peace reveal!

2

How charming is their voice,So sweet the tidings are:"Zion, behold thy Saviour King;He reigns and triumphs here!"

3

How happy are our ears,That hear the joyful soundWhich 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.
