How beauteous are their feet by Aaron Williams — Lyrics
How beauteous are their feet
Who stand on Zion's hill!
Who bring salvation on their tongues,
And words of peace reveal!
How charming is their voice!
How sweet the tidings are!
"Zion, behold thy Savior King;
He reigns and triumphs here."
How happy are our ears
That hear this joyful sound,
Which kings and prophets waited for,
And sought, but never found!

About How beauteous are their feet
This setting of How beauteous are their feet paints a vivid scene of evangelists bringing tidings of salvation. The words express immense joy and gratitude for the message of a Savior, a message that prophets and kings longed to see but never did. The text rejoices in the beauty of those who spread this news and the sweetness of their voices. It culminates in a grand vision of the Lord revealing his power across the earth, with nations called to behold their Savior, and Jerusalem itself breaking forth into song, even the deserts echoing the joy. This anthem for SATB voices is set in English and belongs to the sacred hymn tradition.
