Coming Salvation
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
How beautiful on the mountains,
Are the feet who bring the Good News;
While water flows like fountains,
A town crier trek continues.
Good News of happiness and peace,
Your God reigns bringing salvation;
His voice lifting up not to cease,
In building a new foundation.
Sing for joy eye to eye you see,
Return of the Lord to Zion;
While hearing of His decree,
Sounding like roars of a lion.
Break forth together in singing,
Wasting places of Jerusalem;
The Lord comforting by bringing,
Redemption and not to condemn.
The Lord has bared His holy arm,
Before the eyes of the nation;
The ends of the earth from all harm,
In blessing with His salvation.
Depart in going out from there,
Touching of any unclean thing;
Purify the vessels that they bear,
Vivid in the midst who will bring.
For you shall not go out in haste,
And you shall never go in flight;
The Lord will be giving a taste,
Rewarding as you live in the light.
