Representative Text

1 I have set watchmen upon thy walls,
O Jerusalem! which shall never hold their peace, day nor night.
Go through the gates, prepare ye the way, prepare ye the way of the people.
Cast up the highway, cast up the highway, cast up the highway, and gather out the stones.
Lift up a standard, lift up a standard,
lift up a standard among the people.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Amen!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Amen!
Amen! Amen! Amen! Amen!
