The Golden Gate of Jerusalem
The Gate of Repentance
The Golden Gate captures the evening moon
Which shines upon the road a convict walked
At the rubbled base a snake pursues a rat
a very troubled rat
While Roman squaddies stand the middle watch
The Gate of Mercy
The Golden Gate captures the morning sun
Whence the Messiah comes, or comes again
He is the Gate Himself, the Golden Gate
He comes from the Mount of Olives in golden light
The Golden Gate has been blocked for centuries -
This will not always be so
