19.
Shall we indeed take part in that grand procession?
Shall we stand with the King of Glory on Olivet?
Shall we pass within the gate into the city?
It all depends upon whether we are sprinkled, made pure, washed white in the blood of the Lamb.

Only those who were purified could take part in Nehemiah's procession; only sprinkled ones, cleansed by Christ, will be allowed to join in the song of rejoicing, when the Lord comes to reign in Jerusalem gloriously.
If we are indeed His redeemed ones, let us keep the blessed hope of that day ever before us.

Let it cheer us as we are tossed to and fro on the waves of this troublesome world.
'Courage! oh, have courage, For soon His feet shall stand Upon the Mount of Olives, In the glorious Promised Land; For the Prince of Peace is coming, With pomp and royal state, To pass, with all His followers, Within the Golden Gate.
Courage! oh, have courage! For the time it is not long, E'en now across the mountains Comes a distant sound of song; The dreary night is closing, 'Tis near the break of day, And thy King, the King of Glory, Will soon be on His way.'.
