How beautiful upon the mountain are the steps of those who walk in peace.                
         D     G                       D                        G           A7                      D   
How beautiful upon the mountain are the steps of those who walk in peace.   
   
       
 D                                                             G                       D   
Across the bridge at Selma you came marching side by side,   
                           G                      A7   
In your eyes a new world on the way.   
        D                                                 G                   D   
Hope was in your heart and justice would not be denied.   
                                             G                      A7   
You sang  'We shall shall overcome some day.'   
     
G                                                  D                   G              A7   
God knows the courage you possessed, and Isaiah said it best:   

Chorus   
    
       D                                                                G                   D   
Marching 'round the White House, marching  'round the Pentagon,                                                           
G                                                      D   
Marching round the mighty missile plants,         
D                                                    G                D   
Speaking truth to power, singing 'Peace in Babylon,'     
                              G                           A7   
Asking us,  'Why not give peace a chance?'        

G                                              D                  G              A7   
God knows the courage you possess, and Isaiah said it best:   

Chorus    

  D                                               G                       D   
Now the generations who have joined you on this road                                                
                              G                   D   
Look to you with power in their eyes.          
D                                                             G                      D   
Now you know the torch has passed as they pick up the load.       
                                G                      A7   
Now you see their eyes are on the prize.        

G                                                  D                G               A7   
God knows the courage they possess, and Isaiah said it best:
