Song 27: O Zion O Zion
Based on Isaiah 40:9 composed by unknown.

Verse 1: O Zion O Zion that bringeth good tidings
Get Thee up into the high mountain
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
That bringeth good tidings
Lift up your voice with all your strength!

Lift it up be not afraid!
Saying unto the cities of Judah,
"Behold your God! Behold your God!
Behold your God!"

Song 28: And So I Charge Thee
Writer & Composer Unknown.

Pre-Chorus: And so I charge thee, by the thorny crown,
And by the cross on which the Savior died
And by your own soul's hope for fair renown
Let something GOOD be said!

Verse 1: Come listen to me if your time allows,
We have a plea that must at least be heard,
Speak out the truth and speak it long and loud, And measure every word.

Chorus: And so I charge thee, by the thorny crown,
And by the cross on which the Savior died
And by your own soul's hope for fair renown
Let something GOOD be said!

Verse 2: The tongue is might -- let its words be true
We have a message we are told to tell!
We've made mistakes but we're just passing through!
We haven't done too well!!

Chorus: And so I charge thee, by the thorny crown,
And by the cross on which the Savior died
And by your own soul's hope for fair renown
Let something GOOD be said!!

Verse 3: All my possessions I will gladly share.
It's almost over with these flesh and bones.
I do not need them for my journey here
Or for my journey home!!

Chorus: And so I charge thee, by the thorny crown,
And by the cross on which the Savior died
And by your own soul's hope for fair renown
Let something GOOD be said!

Verse 4: Now is the time a new song must be sung
Men born in freedom must not be shackled down!!
It's plain to see God made men to be free
And wear an open crown!!

Chorus: And so I charge thee, by the thorny crown,
And by the cross on which the Savior died
And by your own soul's hope for fair renown
Let something GOOD be said!!

The Title Barely really tells us what the song is about and I so do not like it when songs do that so Song 28 is only at 4 stars because of the lousy trick title it was given.
