‘Mountains Felled and Valleys Raised’

Mountains felled and valleys raised
Liveliness and loveliness be praised

Yahweh on the way, the way
The clouds are different every day

Mountains felled and valleys raised
Liveliness and loveliness be praised

Mountains reach and valleys run
Fish float downstream in the sun

Mountains felled and valleys raised
Liveliness and loveliness be praised

The mountain metals, valley wool
Filling in hollows the last evil

Mountains felled and valleys raised
Liveliness and loveliness be praised

The mountain lows, the valley looks up
We all look happy to be us

Mountains felled and valleys raised
Loveliness and liveliness be praised

The mountain a nebula, valley of stars
Country songs played on a harlequin guitar

Mountains felled and valleys raised
Liveliness and loveliness be praised

Go tell it – sing a bright melody
Tell me about it – I won’t tell anybody

Mountains felled and valleys raised
Liveliness and loveliness be praised
