351 | Isaiah 2:2-5 | CM | |
BEHOLD the mountain of the Lord In latter days shall rise On mountain tops above the hills, And draw the wondering eyes. |
|||
2 | To 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.’ |
||
3 | The Word that shines from Zion’s hill Shall lighten every land; Our Saviour-King shall teach His ways, And countless hearts command. |
||
4 | Among the nations He shall judge, And into Truth shall guide; He many people shall rebuke, And quell the sinner’s pride. |
||
5 | His subjects shall be filled with love To harvest souls these years; To ploughshares they shall beat their swords, To pruning hooks their spears. |
||
6 | His own, among the nations set, All racial hate disown, And national pride subordinate To serve the eternal throne. |
||
7 | O ‘House of Jacob’, called of God, Elect from every land, O come and walk in His great light, Beneath His mighty hand. |
