royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my
holiness.
Is 62:10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the
people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a
standard for the people.

ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his
reward is with him, and his work before him.
Is 62:12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the
Lord: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken. |
