EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM
(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).

Refrain: MESSENGER TRAVEL MOUNTAIN, BRING US HAPPY INFORMATION. WE CHERISH E-V-E-N HIS-lf MOUTH. THAT MESSENGER TRAVEL HILLS, WE CHERISH HIS-lf FEET.

1. EVERYDAY WE ANNOUNCE SALVATION. WE INFORM TEMPLE MOUNTAIN, (role play > rt) YOUR GOD HIMSELF-rt KING. (end role play) "HEY" GUARD, GO-AHEAD SHOUT. TOGETHER WE SHOULD SING HAPPY. WHY? WE SEE GOD CLEAR.

2. #ALL-OF-US INSPIRED SING. YOU"all" WOMEN LIVE JERUSALEM, KNOW-THAT GOD SHOW"all" WORLD HE-rt MIGHTY. NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST WILL WITNESS HE-rt SAVE CAN.


Notes: MESSENGER - (2h)[F] interlink slightly as they separate and close twice + AGENT.

SALVATION - S-FREE.

TEMPLE - T-CHURCH.

"HEY" - [B], PO down, FO away, is waved as if trying to get attention.

GUARD - G-PROTECT.

GO-AHEAD - (2h)[B^ dot], POs ><, FOs away, move forward in a jerk.

SHOUT - (2h)[5:], POs > signer, FOs up, rise from mouth while twisting at wrists.

#ALL-OF-US - [A], PO > NDS, FO up touches DS shoulder then [L^], PO > signer touches NDS shoulder.

JERUSALEM - [B with thumbs flush with other fingers but not folded into palm], touches mouth and then pronates.

KNOW-THAT - Starts like KNOW but twists and descends, looking almost like DON'T-KNOW except the hand twists down at the end.

MIGHTY - (2h)[S], POs > back of signer, FOs up, are held at NDS and fists descend, then repeat at DS.

WITNESS - [1] touches under eye while head moves down.

Lyrics:

Refrain: How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bear glad tidings. How beautiful on the hills are the lips of those who bring good news.

1. Announce salvation day after day. Say to Zion "Your God is King!" Hark, watchman, raise a cry. Together let us sing for joy, for we see God.

2. Break together in songs of joy; oh you daughters of Jerusalem, our God has raised His mighty arm. All the ends of the earth will behold our salvation.
