Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Behold the mountain of the Lord 
Behold, the mountain of the Lord in latter days shall rise, on mountain-tops, above the hills, and draw the wondering eyes. 
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. 
The beam that shines from Zion's hill shall lighten every land; the King who reigns in Salem's towers shall all the world command. 
Among the nations he shall judge; his judgments truth shall guide; his scepter shall protect the just, and quell the sinner's pride. 
No strife shall vex Messiah's reign or mar the peaceful years; to plowshares men shall beat their swords, to pruning-hooks their spears. 
No longer hosts, encountering hosts, shall crowds of slain deplore; they hang the trumpet in the hall, and study war no more. 
Come then, O come, from every land to worship at his shrine; and, walking in the light of God, with holy beauties shine.
