City of Peace
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
It shall come to pass in the days,
The mountain of the Lord arrives;
To be lifted high up in praise,
As a righteous nation survives.
To be lifted above the hills,
All of the nations flow to it;
Many people see how it fills,
Throughout the sky with His merit.
Let us go up to the mountain,
Remember to walk in His path;
And drink from the righteous fountain,
Pray to be spared from judgment wrath.
For out of Zion comes the Law,
Written from the Word of the Lord;
Where He shall judge you for your flaw,
For the commands that you ignored.
He shall also settle disputes,
Beating their swords into plowshares;
To dig the ground and plant the roots,
Of the trees for the fruit it bears.
No more nation fighting nation,
Neither shall they be learning war;
Walking as a new creation,
Within the light forever more.
