In a High and Lonely Hillside
Music for Choirs, Submitted Music (1998-2006)
In a high and lonely hillside
Lay a treasure of great worth
Which for centuries was hidden
In the safety of the earth
‘Til an angel sent from heaven
Brought this Holy record forth.
As we read its sacred pages
Scenes appear before our view
Of a choice and favored people
Who the gospel’s fullness knew.
And the resurrected Savior
Came and taught his message true.
Thanks we give, O God of Heaven
For a scripture so sublime.
How we love its precious teaching
Telling of thy plan divine.
May we heed its urgent warnings
Written for our Day and time.
