In latter days, the Mount of God,
His sacred house shall rise
Above the mountains and the hills,
And strike the wondering eyes.
To this the joyful nations round,
All Tribes and Tongues shall flow;
Up to the house of God they’ll say,
To Jacob’s God, we’ll go.
To us He’ll point the ways of truth:
The sacred Path we’ll tread
From Salem and from Zion-Hill
His law shall then proceed.
Among the nations and the isles,
As Judge supreme, He’ll sit:
And, vested with unbounded power
Will punish or seguit.
No strife shall rage,
nor angry feuds,
Disturb these peaceful years;
To plowshares then
they’ll beat their swords,
To pruning hooks their spears.
Then nation shan’t
’gainst nation rise,
And slaughtered house deplore:
They’ll lay the useless trumpet by,
And study war no more.
O come ye, then, of Jacob’s house,
Our hearts now let us join:
And, walking in the light of God,
With holy beauties shine.
