Rejoice New Jerusalem

REJOICE NEW JERUSALEM

Grasped with prideful love-- your fiercely ardent hand--

Entwined my sturdy promise with your potent forward gaze--

Rusty skeletons-- bullet-blazed autos mark bloodshed of old battles--

Resilient land reverent heartbeats savor the fragility of Holiness--

                      Behold Believers of Joy-- The Sacred bloody gates of golden Jerusalem.
