lyrics
Come, fathers and mothers,
Come, sisters and brothers,
Come, join us in singing the praises of Jesus;
O, fathers, don't you feel determined,
To meet within the walls of Zion.
We'll shout and go round,
We'll shout and go round,
We'll shout and go round the walls of Zion.
Hosanna to Jesus!
I'm filled with his praises!
Come, O my dear brethren and join me in singing;
O, mothers, don't you feel determined,
To meet within the walls of Zion.
We'll shout and go round,
We'll shout and go round,
We'll shout and go round the walls of Zion.
Oh oh oh, this record shocked me- I was not prepared for how deeply this would seep into my heart. It’s a wave/heartbeat/dog running through shallow water/light coming through green leaves. Thank you thank you thank you Riki
