MOUNTAINS BOW

Stones of faithful testimony - 

by the Word of YHWH raised - 

faultless, witness Christ unchanging,

He by their unfailing praised.

Yet shall mountains fail and falter,

crumbling, fill the eye-dark sea

ere the Word of second advent

bids all realms to bend the knee.

Forth the prophets' cry is echoing:

"make ye straight the desert way!"

Valleys, rise to meet His footfall.

Heights, your crowns in fealty lay. 

Wastes and wilds make true your highways,

leave no stone to strike His toe.

You are cast to service glory;

every lesser task forego.

Christ shall ride in doom and triumph,

peaks shall pave His saints' parade.

'Neath the tread of True and Faithful

shall all soaring tor be laid.

Holy Zion bows her mantle;

shall be raised a lasting throne!

Humble sons of mercy's warrant

worship God in Christ alone.

A friend commissioned this one. He's been putting together a tune for it. Maybe when he gets something worked up I'll be able to link to it from here.
