Zion Stands by Hills Surrounded
Author: Thomas Kelley Meter: 8.7.8.7.11.11 Appears in 397 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Zion stands by hills surrounded,
Zion, kept by pow’r divine;
All her foes shall be confounded,
Though the world in arms combine;
Happy Zion, what a favored lot is thine!
2 Every human tie may perish;
Friend to friend unfaithful prove;
Mothers cease their own to cherish;
Heav’n and earth at last remove;
But no changes can attend Jehovah’s love.
3 In the furnace God may prove thee,
Thence to bring thee forth more bright,
But can never cease to love thee;
Thou art precious in His sight;
God is with thee—God, thine everlasting Light.

On the Mountain's Top Appearing
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.11.11 Appears in 595 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On the mountain’s top appearing,
Lo! the sacred herald stands,
Welcome news to Zion bearing,
Zion, long in hostile lands:
Mourning captive, God Himself shall loose thy bands;
Mourning captive, God Himself shall loose thy bands.
2 Has thy night been long and mournful?
Have thy friends unfaithful proved?
Have thy foes been proud and scornful,
By thy sighs and tears unmoved?
Cease thy mourning, Zion still is well beloved;
Cease thy mourning, Zion still is well beloved.
3 God, thy God, will now restore thee;
He Himself appears thy Friend;
All thy foes shall flee before thee;
Here their boasts and triumphs end:
Great deliv’rance Zion’s King will surely send;
Great deliv’rance Zion’s King will surely send.
4 Peace and joy shall now attend thee;
All thy warfare now is past;
God thy Savior will defend thee;
Victory is thine at last:
All thy conflicts end in everlasting rest;
All thy conflicts end in everlasting rest. Scripture: Isaiah 52:7 Used With Tune: ZION Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/On_the_Mountains_Top_Appearing); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Truth in Song, 1907 (13); The Cyber Hymnal (http://www.hymntime.com/tch/htm/o/n/onmountt.htm)
