Glorious Are the Lofty Mountains

1Glorious are the lofty mountains In the early morning's gleam,
When the soft glow of the sunshine Lights them with its golden beam.

2How those vapors, gently floating,
Kiss the great snowcrested peaks!
In the splendor of the mountains Our Creator surely speaks.

3Oft of old the psalmist David,
Playing harp of solemn sound,
Sung his songs of God's protection When he viewed the hills around.

4Sunset rays o'er Judah's mountains Touched the clouds with heavenly light Till they seemed like hosts of angels Sent to guard him through the night.

5Wondrous everlasting mountains!
Symbols of Jehovah's might!
There earth reaches up to heaven,
There heaven first gives earth its light.
