How Beauteous on the Mountains

Verse 1

How beauteous on the mountains, The feet of him that brings, Like streams from living fountains, Good tidings of good things; That publisheth salvation, And jubilee release, To every tribe and nation, God's reign of joy and peace!

Verse 2

Lift up thy voice, O watchman! And shout, from Zion's towers, Thy hallelujah chorus, "The victory is ours!" The Lord shall build up Zion In glory and renown, And Jesus, Judah's lion, Shall wear his rightful crown;

Verse 3

Break forth in hymns of gladness; O waste Jerusalem! Let songs, instead of sadness, Thy jubilee proclaim; The Lord, in strength victorious, Upon thy foes hath trod; Behold, O earth! the glorious Salvation of our God!
