How Beauteous on the Mountains

lyricist: Benjamin Gough, 1865
Composer: Johann Haydn, 1819

How beau­te­ous on the mount­ains

The feet of him that brings

Like streams from liv­ing fount­ains

Good tid­ings of good things;

That publ­ishes sal­va­tion;

From er­ror gives re­lease

To ev­ery tribe and na­tion:

God’s reign of joy and peace.

Break forth in hymns of glad­ness

O waste Je­ru­sa­lem;

Let songs in­stead of sad­ness

Thy ju­bi­lee pro­claim;

The Lord

in strength vic­tor­ious

Upon thy foes has trod;

Behold

O earth

the glo­ri­ous

Salvation of our God.
