around this way and that, shouting, “It’s the brazen serpent in the wilderness!

Look upon it and live!” And people would shout out, “Glory! — A-a-men!” And so he went on, and the people groaning and crying and saying amen:

“Oh, come to the mourners’ bench! Come, black with sin! (amen!) come, sick and sore! (amen!) come, lame and halt and blind! (amen!) come, pore and needy, sunk in shame! (a-a-men!) come, all that’s worn and soiled and suffering! — come with a broken spirit! Come with a contrite heart! Come in your rags and sin and dirt! The waters that cleanse is free, the door of heaven stands open — oh, enter in and be at rest!” (a-a-men!

Glory, glory hallelujah!)
