1

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

2

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

3

How happy are our ears,That hear the 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 armThrough all the earth abroad;Let every nation now beholdTheir Savior and their God.
