Cleansed Walls, Endless Flame

 "Cleansed Walls, Endless Flame"


With hands lifted, these stones as our altar.
Cleanse these hollowed walls with that fire unseen.
As we purify our own walls, so clean.
As shelter, refuge to never falter.

Forgive dust that clings to our weary feet.
Raise a wall of angels round about these.
Turn prideful arrows aside from our knees.
Make holy a shield to block bad we meet.

Send from here trumpets clothed in endless flame.
Let nation borders fall before this wind.
Give weight to these voices that might be pinned.
Gather Israel homeward to take its claim.

Let saints arise, a thousand tongues proclaim.
The King returns, the world shall know His reign.


Other lines not used
Remember the exile, the beggar, the wanderer.
Let Zion glow as a lamp in the dusk of nations. 
Shake earth awake for the King's return.
This house, this people, this work, forever yours.
