[Sinners, with joy look up!]

Behold upon the mountains the feet of him, &c. —i. 15.

Sinners, with joy look up!
The herald's feet appear,
He comes from Zion's sacred top,
A gospel-messenger!

101

Good news he publishes
Of all mankind forgiven,
Salvation sent from God, and peace
Restored 'twixt earth and heaven.
Peace from above reveal'd,
Which never shall depart,
Peace by the Spirit's signet seal'd
On every faithful heart;
The end of war and sin
In Christ your peace obtain:
And when His kingdom reigns within,
It shall for ever reign.
