Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. How beauteous are their feet Who stand, Who stand on Zion’s hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, and words of peace reveal! How charming is their voice! How sweet the tidings are! “Zion, behold thy Savior Kin; He reigns and triumphs here.”
2. How happy are our ears That hear this joyful, joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, and sought, but never found! How blessed are our eyes That see that see this heav’nly light Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight.
3. The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful songs employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs and deserts learn the joy. The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad; Let ev’ry nation now behold Their Savior and their God!
4. How beauteous are their feet Who stand, Who stand on Zion’s hill! On Zion’s hill! On Zion’s hill!
