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

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

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

4
Sunset 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.

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