Behold, the Mountain of the Lord
Hymns, 54
1. Behold, the mountain of the LordIn latter days shall riseOn mountaintops, above the hills,And draw the wond’ring eyes.To this shall joyful nations come;All tribes and tongues shall flow.“Up to the hill of God,” they’ll say,“And to his house we’ll go.”
2. The rays that shine from Zion’s hillShall lighten ev’ry land;The King who reigns in Salem’s tow’rShall all the world command.Among the nations he shall judge;His judgments truth shall guide;His scepter shall protect the justAnd quell the sinner’s pride.
3. No strife shall rage, nor hostile feudsDisturb those peaceful years;To plowshares men shall beat their swords,To pruning hooks their spears.No longer host encount’ring hostShall crowds of slain deplore;They’ll hang the trumpet in the hallAnd study war no more.
4. Come, then, O house of Jacob, come,To worship at His shrine,And, walking in the light of God,With holy beauties shine.Come, then, O house of Jacob, come,To worship at His shrine,And, walking in the light of God,With holy beauties shine.
