First Line: Upon the hill you stand alone
Last Line: To worship him with song and praise.
Subject(s): Birds; Moon; Pine Trees; Trees
Upon the hill you stand alone
For everyone to see.
A king, who rests upon his throne,
You nod and wave most graciously,
Your branches play most musically
Soft lullabies, with birds and breeze;
You whisper tunes with other trees.
You talk to stars through branches tall;
You wake the moon so free
With bounteous love for all;
You teach us true nobility;
You stand erect in majesty,
Like a temple reared in olden times
With music soft of distant chimes:
To breathe a prayer for all our days,
To worship Him with song and praise.
