20 The hyop of the wall;

With japers glow thy bulwarks,

Thy treets with emeralds blaze,

The ardius and the topaz

Unite in thee their rays;

Thine ageles walls are bonded

With amethyt unpriced;

Thy Saints build up its fabric,

And the corner-tone is

The Cros is all thy plendor,

The Crucified thy praie;

His laud and benediction

Thy ranomed people raie:

", the Gem of Beauty, True and Man," they ing,

"The never-failing Garden, The ever-golden Ring; The Door, the Pledge, the Huband, The Guardian of his Court; The Day-tar of Salvation, The Porter and the Port!"
