The Messenger Welcomed. (928) How beauteous on the mountains, The feet of him that brings, Like streams from living fountains, Good tidings of good things; That publisheth salvation, And jubilee release, To ev'ry tribe and nation, God's reign of joy and peace. 2 Lift up thy voice, oh, watchman! And shout from Zion's towers, Thy hallelujah chorus -- "The victory is ours!" The Lord shall build up Zion In glory and renown, And Jesus, Judah's lion, Shall wear his rightful crown. 3 Break forth in hymns of gladness; Oh, waste Jerusalem! Let songs, instead of sadness, Thy jubilee proclaim; The Lord in strength victorious, Upon thy foes hath trod; Behold, oh, earth! the glorious Salvation of our God. Benjamin Gough, 186-.
