All nations shall flow unto it.
Isaiah 2:2.
Behold the mountain of the Lord
In latter days shall rise,
On mountain tops above the hills,
And draw the wondering eyes.
2 To this the joyful nations round,
All tribes and tongues shall flow;
Up to the hill of God, they’ll say,
And to his house we’ll go!
3 The beam that shines from Zion hill
Shall lighten every land!
The King who reigns in Salem’s towers,
Shall all the world command.
4 No strife shall vex Messiah’s reign,
Or mar the peaceful years,
To plowshares men shall beat their swords,
To pruning-hooks their spears.
5 No longer hosts encountering hosts,
Their millions slain deplore;
They hang the trumpet in the hall,
And study war no more.
6 Come, then—O come from every land,
To worship at his shrine;
And, walking in the light of God,
With holy beauties shine.
M. Bruce.
