UPON THE HEIGHTS.

By Eliza H. Morton

Upon the mountain-top I stand, Alone with God; Far, far above the world of sin, With Christ my Lord.
The foot of man has seldom trod This awful height; The rocks, the rills, the cliffs sublime, Proclaim God's might.
Deep silence reigns, no sound is heard; Oh, stillness grand! This mass of earth is e'er for aye With breezes fanned.
The sun above shines bright and clear, With dazzling light; The clouds below hang o'er the vale, Like banners white.
Upon the heights! O may I be In spirit here! 'Tis sweet to know, 'tis sweet to feel God's presence near.
Upon the heights! O let us all Look toward the skies! And to our God, and Christ, and home, Lift streaming eyes.
Upon the heights! We soon shall dwell Forever there; Within a city rich and grand, Mount Zion fair.
