1. Proud? Yes, of our home in the mountains,Where prophets of Israel reside,And faithful ones quaff from the fountains,Where wisdom and virtue abide.The Lord is now pouring a blessingIs blessing the living and dead;And thousands are now gladly drinkingAt streams from the great fountain head.
Proud? Yes, of our home in the mountains,Where prophets of Israel reside,And faithful ones quaff from the fountains,Where wisdom and virtue abide.
2. The Saints are inviting the nationsUnto chambers prepared of our God,To join in the work of redemption,Far away from the scourge and the rod.Already the “black-horse” is prancing,Denoting that death is at hand;Destruction is surely advancingTo conquest in every land.
Proud? Yes, of our home in the mountains,Where prophets of Israel reside,And faithful ones quaff from the fountains,Where wisdom and virtue abide.
3. God’s Zion is rich, and her blessingThe wide world will forever excel,E’en now see her people possessingMore than poets or prophets could tell.Like pillars of heaven her mountains,Adorned with perpetual snow;Their joy to replenish earth’s fountainsAnd fertilize valleys below
Proud? Yes, of our home in the mountains,Where prophets of Israel reside,And faithful ones quaff from the fountains,Where wisdom and virtue abide.
