Latter-Day Saints Congregational Hymns ‎#25

25. High On the Mountain Top

1. High on the mountain top
A banner is unfurled
Ye nations now look up,
It waves to all the world.
In Deseret's sweet peaceful land-
On Zion's mount behold it stands!

2. For God remembers still
His promise made of old
That he on Zion's hill
Truth's standard would unfold!
Her light should there attract the gaze
Of all the world in latter days

3. His house shall there be reared,
His glory to display,
And people shall be heard
In distant lands to say
We'll now go up and serve the Lord,
Obey His truth and learn His word.
