1,2 God claims Earth and everything in it,

God claims World and all who live on it.

He built it on Ocean foundations,

laid it out on River girders.

3,4 Who can climb Mount God?

Who can scale the holy north-face?

Only the clean-handed,

only the pure-hearted;

Men who won’t cheat,

women who won’t seduce.

5,6 God is at their side;

with God’s help they make it.

This, Jacob, is what happens

to God-seekers, God-questers.

7 Wake up, you sleepyhead city!

Wake up, you sleepyhead people!

King-Glory is ready to enter.

8 Who is this King-Glory?

God, armed

and battle-ready.

9 Wake up, you sleepyhead city!

Wake up, you sleepyhead people!

King-Glory is ready to enter.

10 Who is this King-Glory?

God-of-the-Angel-Armies:

he is King-Glory.
