Mountain Of The Lord


"In the last days the mountain of the house of the Lord will be established
as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills,
and the peoples will stream to it."
(Micah 4:1)

Yes! a brighter morn is breaking,

Better days are coming on;

All the world will be a-waking

In a new and golden dawn.

And many nations shall come and say,

Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord!

And He will teach us, will teach us of His ways,

And we will walk in His paths.

In the day of coming glory,

Men will show fraternal hand;

Each will tell to each the story

Till it spreads to ev-'ry land.

And many nations shall come and say,

Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord!

And He will teach us, will teach us of His ways

And we will walk in His paths.

On the top of Zion's mountain

God prepares His house a-gain;

And its threshold springs a fountain,

Flowing for the souls of men.

And many nations shall come and say,

Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord!

And He will teach us, will teach us of His ways

And we will walk in His paths.

From the earth's remotest stations,

Men will come to hear the word;

And, in all the world, the nations,

Shall be nations of the Lord.

And many nations shall come and say,

Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord!

And He will teach us, will teach us of His ways

And we will walk in His paths.
