The Book of Zechariah is filled with visions after exile.

The temple is rising again, and the Lord speaks of cleansing,

courage, and the coming King.

In the murders Standing in the valley night

I heard the angel answer Is

Jerusalem still in sight?

The nation sat in comfort While Zion wore her grief

But the Lord returned with mercy

And the ruins learned belief So cry again,

he said to me My city shall overflow The measuring line

is stretched again And the holy fire will glow Not by

might Not by power But by my spirit Says the

Lord Grace shall crown the mountain And the

hands shall build once more Who are you? O great

mountain Before His word fall down Not by

might, not by power His mercy wears the

crown I saw the priest in garments stained

Accused before the flame. Then the angel of the Lord stood

near and took away his shame. A clean robe fell upon

him, a turban crowned his head. And the branch was spoken

softly like a root among the dead. Behold the stone before

him with seven eyes of flame. In one day he will

cleanse the land and call his people by name. Not by

might, not by power, but by my spirit.

says the Lord.

Grace shall crown the mountain and the hands shall build

once more. Who are you? Oh, great mountain.

Before his word fall down.

Not by might. Not by power.

His mercy wears the crown.

Rejoice greatly, daughter Zion Shout aloud, Jerusalem Behold, your king

is coming Lowly riding into them Not with chariots, not with

war horses Not with pride and lifted eyes He speaks peace

unto the nations And his rules shall cover skies

They weighed the shepherd's value Thirty pieces in their hand

And the flock was scattered trembling Through the

wounded, broken land They shall look upon the pierced one

and mourn as for a son.

Then a fountain shall be opened and uncleanness shall be

undone. Not by might, not by power, but by my

spirit, says the Lord Grace shall crown the

mountain And the king shall reign once more Who are

you? Oh, great mountain Before His word fall

down

His mercy wears the crown.

And the Lord shall be king over all the

earth that day. One Lord and His name one,

and holiness shall stay.
