Text Based On Micah Chapter 4
And they shall beat their swords into
plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks:
In Latter Days, The Mount of God
In latter days, the Mount of God,
His sacred house shall rise
Above the mountains and the hills,
And strike the wondering eyes.
To this the joyful nations round,
All Tribes and Tongues shall flow;
Up to the house of God they'll say,
To Jacob's God, we'll go.
To us He will point the ways of truth:
The sacred Path we will tread
From Salem and from Zion-Hill
His law shall then proceed.
Among the nations and the isles,
As Judge supreme, He will sit:
And, vested with unbounded power
Will punish or seguit.
No strife shall rage, nor angry feuds,
Disturb these peaceful years;
To plowshares then they will beat their swords,
To pruning hooks their spears.
Then nation shall not against nation rise,
And slaughtered house deplore:
They will lay the useless sword by,
And study war no more.
O come ye, then, of Jacob's house,
Our hearts now let us join:
And, walking in the light of God,
With holy beauties shine.
