How beauteous are their feet
who stand on Zion's hill
who bring salvation on their tongues
and words of peace instil!
How happy are our ears
that hear this joyful sound
which kings and prophets waited for
and sought, but never found.
How blessèd are our eyes
that see this heavenly light
Prophets and kings desired it long
but died without the sight.
The Lord makes bare his arm
through all the earth abroad
let every nation now behold
their Savior and their God.
Isaac Watts, 1707
