Scripture Verse

It shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth out of the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim. Joel 3:18

Lyrics

Welcome the bright millennial day
When former things are passed away,
When earth in right­eous­ness renewed,
Blooms as at the beginning good!
Wine from the mountain tops distills,
And milky currents from the hills,
Rivers of living water rise,
Pure as their Foun­tain in the skies.

Forth issuing from Je­ho­vah’s throne
Sent by the Fa­ther and the Son,
The Holy Ghost His fullness pours
In glo­ri­ous, ev­er­last­ing showers;
The King of saints resides below,
His Spi­rit doth our vale o’erflow,
Brings back the garden of the Lord,
And shows us paradise restored.
