16GatherH622 the peopleH5971, 1sanctifyH6942 the congregationH6951, AssembleH6908 the eldersH2205, GatherH622 the childrenH5768 and the nursingH3243H7699 infantsH3243H7699. Let the 2bridegroomH2860 comeH3318 out of his roomH2315 And the brideH3618 out of her bridal chamberH2646.17Let the priestsH3548, the Lord’sH3068 ministersH8334, WeepH1058 3betweenH996 the porchH197 and the altarH4196, And let them sayH559, “4SpareH2347 Your peopleH5971, O LordH3068, And do not makeH5414 Your inheritanceH5159 a 5reproachH2781, A bywordH4912 among the nationsH1471.
