Go, walk about Zion and measure the length, Her walls and her bulwarks mark well; Contemplate her palaces, glorious in strength, Her towers and their pinnacles tell. Then say to your children:—“Our stronghold is tried, This God is our God to the end; His people for ever his counsels shall guide, His arm shall for ever defend.”
