Lyrics:
Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor the fruit adorn the vine,
Though the fields may fail at harvest – not a single gain in sight,
Though my labor ends in losses and my expectation fades,
I will choose to keep rejoicing in the faithful God Who saves!
And He will strengthen my feeble feet.
Swift and steady like a deer on those mountain peaks,
Chorus:
I’ll be hiking in the hills that only few would dare to climb,
Traipsing in the places nearly reaching to the skies,
Marching over mountains with a sure and steady stride.
Way above the windmills, I’ll be hiking in the high hills!
There’s a reason for rejoicing, for a glad and grateful song.
Though I may be left with nothing, I will always have my God!
He will somehow make me able to traverse the rough terrain.
So I will choose to keep rejoicing in the faithful God who saves!
And He will strengthen my feeble feet.
Swift and steady like a deer on those mountain peaks,
Ending Chorus:
I’ll be strolling in the sunlight with a strength beyond my own,
Light and limber through the timber as I climb to each plateau!
In creation’s elevations, I will tread the great unknown.
Way above the windmills, I’ll be hiking in the high hills!
