Texty
Babylon was a great city
Her merchandise was of gold and silver
Of precious stones, of pearls, of fine linen
Of purple, silk, and scarlet
All manner vessels of ivory
All manner vessels of most precious wood
Of brass, iron, and marble
Cinnamon, odors, and ointments
Of frankincense, wine, and oil
Fine flour, wheat, and beasts
Sheep, horses, chariots, slaves
And the souls of men
Written by: Sir William Walton
