How gracious are their feet
Who stand on Zion’s hill,
Who bring salvation on their tongues,
And words of peace reveal!
How cheering is their voice,
How sweet their tidings are:
‘Zion behold thy Saviour-King!
He reigns and triumphs here.’
How happy are our ears
That hear this joyful sound,
Which kings and prophets waited for,
And sought, but never found!
How blessèd are our eyes
That see this heavenly light!
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But died without the sight.
The watchmen join their voice,
And tuneful notes employ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,
And deserts learn the joy.
The Lord makes bare his arm
Through all the earth abroad;
Let all the nations now behold
Their Saviour and their God.
