How beauteous are their feet by Francis Duckworth — 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
Francis Duckworth's setting of How beauteous are their feet is a fine choice for services and festivals. The text, a paraphrase of Isaiah 52:7, speaks of the joy and privilege of hearing and seeing the gospel proclaimed. Its message of salvation and the triumph of Christ the King will resonate with congregations. This SATB arrangement in English is well-suited for choirs seeking to offer a hymn of profound theological meaning and uplifting expression. The words celebrate the messengers of good news and the universal impact of God's redeeming power, moving from the individual's joy to a global proclamation.
