We pray to our Lord,
Set a guard to protect;
To keep in one accord,
That so many reject.
For the strength of those who,
Bear the load is failing;
Unable to construe,
What would be prevailing.
There is too much rubble,
For rebuilding the wall;
From all of the trouble,
That was caused by the fall.
They will not know or see,
Till we come among them;
Stop them trying to flee,
Asking God to condemn.
Anyone who lived near,
Needed to come to us;
Truth telling and sincere,
Not making any fuss.
So, in the lowest part,
The space behind the wall;
Open space to impart,
Where God will hear the call.
People with swords and spears,
Clans with bows and arrows;
Secured to calm their fears,
As we watch the sparrows.
For I looked and arose,
Saying to the nobles;
Be not afraid of those,
Of someone that stumbles.
Just remember the Lord,
Who is great and awesome;
The one we have adored,
Restores the deaf and dumb.
Resume work at the sound,
When the trumpet is heard;
The work greatly abound,
Widely spread from the Word.
