Oh, beautiful his feet upon the highway;
And silvern is his voice above the crowd,
Who publisheth the tidings of salvation,
Who telleth all the love of God, aloud!
So joyous and so potent is the message,
The suffering and sorrowing are healed;
The poor and heavy-laden, looking upward,
Behold the fount of righteousness unsealed.
Oh, blessed are ye, little flock of Jesus,
The kingdom of your Father is for you.
And blessed, ye ambassadors of Science,
The knowing and the doing of the true.
For now, in this our day, the Word is spoken,
Oh, come, ye dear ones, sick and trouble-sore,
The Christ that ye have longed for is beside you;
The angel of his presence at your door!
