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