Hymn 10

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 710 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 52:7-10 First Line: How beauteous are their feet Lyrics: How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal! How charming is their voice! How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Savior 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 blessed are our eyes That see this heav'nly 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 every nation now behold Their Savior and their God!

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.11.11 Appears in 595 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 52:7 Lyrics: 1 On the mountain’s top appearing, Lo! the sacred herald stands, Welcome news to Zion bearing, Zion, long in hostile lands: Mourning captive, God Himself shall loose thy bands; Mourning captive, God Himself shall loose thy bands. 2 Has thy night been long and mournful? Have thy friends unfaithful proved? Have thy foes been proud and scornful, By thy sighs and tears unmoved? Cease thy mourning, Zion still is well beloved; Cease thy mourning, Zion still is well beloved. 3 God, thy God, will now restore thee; He Himself appears thy Friend; All thy foes shall flee before thee; Here their boasts and triumphs end: Great deliv’rance Zion’s King will surely send; Great deliv’rance Zion’s King will surely send. 4 Peace and joy shall now attend thee; All thy warfare now is past; God thy Savior will defend thee; Victory is thine at last: All thy conflicts end in everlasting rest; All thy conflicts end in everlasting rest.
