Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
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 blessing Is blessing the living and dead; And thousands are now gladly drinking At 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 nations Unto 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 advancing To 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 blessing The wide world will forever excel, E’en now see her people possessing More than poets or prophets could tell. Like pillars of heaven her mountains, Adorned with perpetual snow; Their joy to replenish earth’s fountains And 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.
