Lyrics: Upon the Highland hills I stand Where mists conceal the morn Thy mighty hand hath formed the earth Ere I myself was born The roaring sea obeys Thy voice The stars fulfill Thy word The sparrow finds beneath Thy care As surely as her Lord Though winter strips the ancient oak And leaves the mountains bare Thy covenant remaineth fast Unmoved by time or care The snow may hide the narrow path The night obscure my sight Yet still Thy faithful promises Shall lead me by their light The Shepherd sought His wandering sheep Upon the rugged height He bore the weary on His breast And led them home by night His wounded hands have opened wide The everlasting door That all who trust His holy Name May dwell for evermore When earthly kingdoms fade away And all their glory dies Thy Kingdom standeth ever sure Beneath eternal skies Then let my tongue proclaim Thy praise While breath remains in me Until I join the saints above Around the crystal sea To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Be endless honor given As was before, is now, and shall Through earth and highest heaven If this hymn encourages your faith, please consider liking, sharing, and subscribing for more original Scripture-inspired music.
