Lyrics:

High o'er the hills the mountains rise
Their summits tow'r toward the skies
But far above them I must dwell
Or sink beneath the flames of hell

Oh, God! forbid that I should fall
And lose my everlasting all
But may I rise on wings of love
And soar to the blest world above

Altho I walk the mountains high
Ere long my body low must lie
And in some lonesome place must rot
And by the living be forgot

But if prepared, oh, blessed thought!
I'll rise above the mountain's top
And there remain for evermore
On Canaan's peaceful happy shore
