On the Mountain's Top Appearing

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 602 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On the mountain's top appearing, Lo! the sacred herald stands, Welcome news to Zion bearing, Zion long in hostile lands. Mourning captive, God Himself shall loose thy bands, 2 Has thy night been long and mournful? Have thy friends unfaithful proved? Have thy foes been proud and scornful, By thy sighs and tears unmoved? Cease thy mourning; Zion still is well beloved. 3 God, thy God, will now restore thee; He Himself appears thy Friend; All thy foes shall flee before thee; Here their boasts and triumphs end: Great deliverance Zion's King will surely send. 4 Enemies no more shall trouble; All thy wrongs shall be redressed: For thy loss thou shalt have double, In thy Maker's favor blest: All thy conflicts End in everlasting rest. Amen. Topics: The Church General; Zion, the Church Scripture: Isaiah 52:7 Used With Tune: ORIENT MORNING

It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. 6 O measureless Might! ineffable Love!
