1
BEHOLD! the mountain of the Lord
In latter days shall rise
On mountaintops above the hills,
And draw the wondering, eyes.
2 To this the joyful nations round,
All tribes and tongues, shall flow;
Up to the hill of God, they'll say,
And to his house, we'll go.
3
The beam that shines from Zion's hill
Shall lighten every land;
The King who reigns in Salem's towers
Shall all the world command.
4
Among the nations he shall judge;
His judgments truth shall guide;
His scepter shall protect the just,
And quell the sinner's pride.
5
No strife shall rage, nor hostile feuds
Disturb those peaceful years;
To ploughshares men shall beat their swords,
To pruning hooks their spears.
6 No longer hosts, encountering hosts,
Shall crowds of slain deplore;
They hang the trumpet in the hall,
And study war no more.
7
Come, then, O house of Jacob! Come
To worship at his shrine;
And, walking in the light of God,
With holy beauties shine.
