As we have heard, so have we also seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God has founded it for ever. (Pause)

Mark ye well her strength, and observe her palaces; that ye may tell the next generation.

For this is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide for evermore.
