Latter-Day Saints Congregational Hymns ‎#34

34. Behold the Mountain of the Lord

1. Behold, the mountain of the Lord
In latter days shall rise,
On mountaintops, above the hills,
And draw the wond'ring eyes.
On mountaintops, above the hills,
And draw the wond'ring 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."
"Up to the hill of God", they'll say,
"And to His house we'll go."

3. The rays that shine from Zion's hill
Shall lighten ev'ry land;
The King who reigns in Salem's tow'rs
Shall all the world command
The King who reigns in Salem's tow'rs
Shall all the world command

4. Among the nations He shall judge,
His judgments truth shall guide,
His sceptre shall protect the just,
And quell the sinner's pride.

5. No strife shall rage, nor hostile feuds
Disturb those peaceful years;
To plowshares men shall beat their swords
To pruning-hooks their spears.

6. No longer host, encount'ring host,
Shall crowds of slain deplore;
They'll hang the trumpet in the hall,
And study war no more.

7. Come, then, O house of Jacob, come,
To worship at His shrine,
And, walking in the light of God,
With holy beauties shine.
