HYMN 48.

How beauteous are their feet
Who stand on Sion's hill;
Who bring salvation on their tongues,
And words of peace reveal!

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.

Oh! Lord, make bare Thine arm,
Through all the earth abroad,
Let ev'ry nation now behold
Their Saviour and their God.
