meet a trumpeter of heaven, and L say,
Haven't you got some music for tired

long breath, he puts his mouth to the truu1-

shell those towers. Let all the batteries of
earth and hell blaz away; they cannot break
in these gates. Gibralter was taken; Sebas-
topol was taken; Babylon fell; but those
walls of heaven shall never surrender. either
to humanity or satanic besiegement. The
Lord God Almighty is the defense OF it.
Great capital of the universal Terminus Of
the Kings highway
When my last wound is healed, when the
last heartbreak is ended, when the last tear
of earthly sorrow is wiped away, and when
the redeemed of the Lord shall come to
Zion, then let the harpers take down their
harps, and all the trumpters take down their
trumpets. and all across heaven there be
chorus of morning stars chorus of white
robed vctors, chorus Of martyrs from un-
der the throne, chorus of ages, chorus OF
worlds, and there be but on q souG sung, and
but one name spoken, and but one throne
honored-that of Jesus only.
