How Beautiful Upon The Mountain

Lyrics

How beautiful upon the mountain
 Are the steps of those who walk in peace
 How beautiful upon the mountain
 Are the steps of those who walk in peace
 Across the bridge at Selma you came marching side by side
 In your eyes a new world on the way
 Hope was in your heart and justice would not be denied
 You sang we shall overcome some day
 God knows the courage you possessed
 And Issiah said it best
 How beautiful upon the mountain
 Are the steps of those who walk in peace
 How beautiful upon the mountain
 Are the steps of those who walk in peace
 Marching round the White House, marching round the Pentagon
 Marching round the mighty missile plans
 Speaking truth to power, singing peace in Babylon
 Asking us why not give peace a chance
 God knows the courage you possess
 And Issiah said it best
 How beautiful upon the mountain
 Are the steps of those who walk in peace
 How beautiful upon the mountain
 Are the steps of those who walk in peace
 Now the generations who have joined you on this road
 Look to you with power in their eyes
 Now you know the torch has passed as they pick up the load
 Now you see their eyes are on the prize
 God knows the courage they possess
 And Issiah said it best
 How beautiful upon the mountain
 Are the steps of those who walk in peace
 How beautiful upon the mountain
 Are the steps of those who walk in peace
 How beautiful upon the mountain
 Are the steps of those who walk in peace
 How beautiful upon the mountain
 Are the steps of those who walk in peace
 Are the steps of those who walk in peace
