&q^Emuot;What do I do next?" ^Gsaid the bishop to the priest, "I ha^Amve spent my whole life waiting,^C preparing for ^Dthe feast, And n^Emow you say Jerusalem has f^Gallen and is lost, The k^Aming of heathen Saracen has s^Ceized the h^Doly cr^Emoss,"

Then the pr^Emiest said "Oh my bishop, we m^Gust put them to the sword, For G^Amod in all His mercy will f^Cind a just rew^Dard, For the n^Emoblemen and sinners, and kn^Gights of ready hand, Who will b^Ame the Lord's Crusader, send w^Cord through ^Dall the l^Emand,^D ^C

Jerusal^Dem is l^Emost,^D ^C Jerusal^Dem is l^Emost,^D ^C Jerusal^Dem is l^Emost,

&q^Emuot;Tell me what to do", ^Gsaid the king upon his throne, "b^Amut speak to me in whispers ^Cfor we are n^Dot alone, They t^Emell me that Jerusalem has f^Gallen to the hand, Of some bed^Ameviled eastern Heathen who has s^Ceized the H^Doly L^Emand,"

Then the ch^Emamberlain said "Lord, we m^Gust call upon our foes In Sp^Amain and France and Germany to ^Cend our bitter w^Dars, All Chr^Emistian men must be as one and g^Gather for the fight, You w^Amill be their leader, beg^Cin the b^Dattle cr^Emy, ^D ^C

Jerusal^Dem is l^Emost,^D ^C Jerusal^Dem is l^Emost,^D ^C Jerusal^Dem is l^Emost, ^F

Ooh, h^Amigh on a hill, in the town of Jer^Fusalem, There st^Amood Saladin, the king of the S^Faracens, Wh^Goring and drinking and sn^E7oring and sinking, ar^Amound him his ^Garmy l^Fay, Sec^Cure in the knowledge that h^E7e had won the d^Amay,

A m^Amessenger came, blood on his feet and a w^Found in his chest, "Th^Ame Christians are coming!" he said, "I hav^Fe seen their cross in the west," In a r^Gage Saladin struck him d^E7own with his knife, And he said "^Am;I know that this man^F lies, They q^Cuarrel too much, the Chr^E7istians could never un^Amite!

^F I ^Gam inv^Amincible,^F I am the k^Eing, ^F I ^Gam inv^Amincible, and ^FI w^Gill w^Amin..^G. ^F ^GI will win^Am, ^G ^F

Cl^Amoser they came, the army of Richard the L^Fionheart, M^Amarching by day and night, with soldiers from ^Fevery part, And wh^Gen the Crusaders came ^E7over the mountain and they s^Amaw Jerusal^Fem, They f^Cell to their knees and pr^E7ayed for her rel^Amease,

They st^Amarted the battle at dawn, t^Faking the city by storm, With h^Amorsemen and bowmen and engines of war, They br^Foke through the city walls, The H^Geathens were flying and scr^E7eaming and dying, And the Chr^Amistian swords were str^Fong, And S^Caladin ran when he h^E7eard their victory s^Among,

^F We ^Gare inv^Amincible,^F God is the k^Eing, ^F We ^Gare inv^Amincible, and w^Fe w^Gill w^Amin! ^F ^Am ^F ^G ^C

&qu^Emot;What do I do now?" ^Gsaid the wise man to the fool, "I ha^Amve spent my whole life searching,^C to find the Gol^Dden Rule, Though c^Ementuries have disappeared, the m^Gemory still remains, Of those ^Amenemies together, c^Could it be that w^Day ag^Emain?"

Then the f^Emool said "Oh you wise men, ^Gyou really make me laugh, With your t^Amalk of vast persuasion and s^Cearching through the p^Dast, There is ^Emonly greed and evil in the m^Gen who fight today, The s^Among of the Crusader has l^Cong since^D gone aw^Emay,^D ^C
