Tune: Day of Rest
(\'O day of rest and gladness\')
Micah 4 v.1-5
********
In the last days it shall be
The mount of the LORD, see
Mount of His house established
Shall be so, He has wished
Atop the mountains it shall be
And exalted greatly
Above the hills, people they
Shall flow to it freely
Many nations shall come, say
Let us go e\'en this day
To the LORD\'s mount, His house there
his teachings He will share
With us, we will walk in His ways
Through continuous days
For from mount Zion proceeds
His law with no impedes
He shall judge many people
Rebuke strong nations all
They shall beat swords to ploughshares
Be free of anxious cares
Shall beat spears to pruning-hooks* (* or pruning-knives)
No more with hostile looks
Nation against nation not lift
Sword, but peace be their gift
Neither shall they learn to war
Any more, it be sure
They shall sit under their vine
And fig tree, idylls fine
For none shall make them afraid
On the LORD they be stayed
And He shall bring this, His word
Spoken, it has been heard
For all people will walk*, each (*live)
In their gods names, and teach
Of ways, paths, idolatry
That they believe to be
The truth, but as for us we will
Walk in the LORD\'s name still
The LORD our God for ever
This our firm endeavour
