    With its lone floors where reverent feet once trod.

    Before the mystery of death and God.

    The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me.
    He hath anointed me to preach good tidings
    Unto the poor; to heal the broken-hearted;
    To comfort those that mourn, and to throw open
    The prison doors of captives, and proclaim
    The Year Acceptable of the Lord, our God!
