Valleys, this is your new birth; mountains, greet the morning! 3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees; fainting hearts, be cheerful! God who comes for such as these, seeks and saves the fearful. Deaf ears hear the silent tongues sing away their weeping; blind eyes see the lifeless ones walking, running, leaping! 4 There God's highway shall be seen where no roaring lion, nothing evil or unclean walks the road to Zion: ransomed people, homeward bound all your praises voicing, see your Lord with glory crowned, share in his rejoicing!
