William Billings - Nantucket - ноты, текст песни (слова)

How beauteous are their feet
 Who stand on Zion's hill!
 Who bring salvation on their tongues,
 And words of peace reveal!
 
 How charming is their voice!
 How sweet the tidings are!
 "Zion, behold thy Savior King;
 He reigns and triumphs here."
 
 How happy are our ears
 That hear this joyful sound,
 Which kings and prophets waited for,
 And sought, but never found!
 
 How blessed are our eyes
 That see this heav'nly light
 Prophets and kings desired it long,
 But died without the sight.
 
 The watchmen join their voice,
 And tuneful notes employ;
 Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,
 And deserts learn the joy.
 
 The Lord makes bare his arm
 Through all the earth abroad;
 Let every nation now behold
 Their Savior and their God!
