Behold! the mountain of the Lord <br />In latter days shall rise, <br />Above the mountains and the hills, <br />And draw the wondering eyes. <br /> <br />To this the joyful nations round, <br />All tribes and tongues, shall flow; <br />Up to the hill of God, they'll say, <br />And to his house we'll go. <br /> <br />The beam that shines on Zion hill <br />Shall lighten every land; <br />The King who reigns in Zion towers <br />Shall all the world command. <br /> <br />No strife shall vex Messiah's reign, <br />Or mar the peaceful years, <br />To ploughshares soon they beat their swords, <br />To pruning-hooks their spears. <br /> <br />No longer hosts encountering every land, <br />To worship at his shrine; <br />And, walking in the light of God, <br />With holy beauties shine.<br /><br />John Logan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hymn-v-behold-the-mountain-of-the-lord/
