Jerusalem, you shall not always weep Your crimson river flowing shall abate; The bitter tears you shed though rising deep At last shall drown the searing flames of hate. Jerusalem, you shall not always cry Your agony shall cease and peace shall reign Upon thee, Holy Land, and lift you high Above the arid desert of disdain. Jerusalem, you shall not always wail In sorest grief, despised by vile men; O, Jewel of God, no one can long assail; He’ll surely vanquish ev’ry foe, Amen. Jerusalem, let hill and vale rejoice His throne shall reign in thee by Sovereign choice. 12/01 |

Jerusalem, you shall not always wail In sorest grief, despised by vile men; O, Jewel of God, no one can long assail; He’ll surely vanquish ev’ry foe, Amen. Yes, Amen Denise, Poignant, and beautifully rhymed. |
