If You Be Willing

Put on your strength, O Zion;  Put on your beautiful garments,  O Jerusalem, the holy city!  For the uncircumcised and the unclean Shall no longer come to you.  Shake yourself from the dust, arise;  Sit down, O Jerusalem!  Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck,  O captive daughter of Zion! |  Isaiah 52:1-2  | ** …
