How Beautiful Upon The Mountain

Tom Paxton

Transposer:

How beautiful upon the mountain are the steps of those who walk in peace.                               How beautiful upon the mountain are the steps of those who walk in peace.                            Across the bridge at Selma you came marching side by side                              In your eyes a new world on the way.               Hope was in your heart and justice would not be denied.                        You sang  "We shall shall overcome some day."                        God knows the courage you possessed and Isaiah said it best:                          Chorus                                                                                 Marching ’round the White House marching  ’round the Pentagon                                                            Marching round the mighty missile plants               Speaking truth to power singing "Peace in Babylon"                   Asking us  "Why not give peace a chance?"                 God knows the courage you possess and Isaiah said it best:                       Chorus                                                                            Now the generations who have joined you on this road                                                 Look to you with power in their eyes.              Now you know the torch has passed as they pick up the load.                           Now you see their eyes are on the prize.                God knows the courage they possess and Isaiah said it best:                         Chorus
