Awake, I pray, O mighty Jah, awake Make all the world before Thy presence quake, Not only earth, but heaven also shake. Arise, arise, O Jacob's God, arise, And hear the cries Of ev'ry soul which in distress now lies, And to Thee flies. Arise, I pray, O Israel's hope, arise; Set free Thy seed, oppressed by enemies. Why should they over it still tyrannize?
She was glad she couldn't read it, for she would have been certain to let it out some day when she wasn't thinking. Perhaps Mamma knew, and was not allowed to say it. Supposing she forgot? At church they sang "Praise Him in His name Jah and rejoice before Him." Jah was God's pet-name, short for Jehovah. It was a silly name Jah.
Jah jah ja-a-a-h!" The bird began its interminable somersaults, pausing only to reach for the tantalizing finger of the man, who laughed again as he withdrew the digit in time. For six years he had carried the bird with him, through India and Burma and Malacca, and not yet had he won a sign of surrender. There were many scars on his forefingers. It was amazing.
On the other he was exposed to the incursions of the Mahrattis, whose rising power was a constant threat to his safety. He had, moreover, to cope with a serious rebellion by his son, Ali Jah.

"Don't you know that since you're 'growed up, as Aunt Cindy says, she swears by you? I heard her tell Mom Beck last night she reckoned she'd have to make a batch of little sugah hah't cakes right away, for Mistah Rob would be coming prowling round her cooky jah." "Am I growed up?" asked Rob gravely, throwing back his shoulders and looking into the mirror at the tall reflection it showed him.
By this time he had become somewhat more friendly towards me, and if in the mood would talk for a brief while. "Were any other prisoners tried on Wednesday as spies?" I asked innocently. "Jah! All day!" "How many?" "May-be twenty-three!" "How many have been shot?" "Ach! I cannot give prisoners news of that kind. But I can tell you that there are three left, and you are one of them!"
She was delighted to serve them; gave them an excellent dinner, and, after they had visited Rubens' great picture, the Descent from the Cross, set them forth on their journey; but the "yea, yea and nay, nay" of Scripture, or rather jah, jah, nein, nein, was their only conversation with the good lady, for although young Walworth could speak French and Isaac German, she knew nothing but Flemish.
A feeling of awe mingled with joy seized the people, and they also looked upward, drawn by the rapt gaze of the singer. Her face looked like that of an angel as, transported with her theme, she sang in a pure soprano voice: "Yea, amen! let all adore thee, High on thy eternal throne; Savior, take the power and glory, Claim the kingdom for thine own: Jah! Jehovah! Everlasting God, come down."
I'll tell the world I don't know what woulda happened if I hadn't run across yuh and made her hand yuh over." "Ja ja ja jah!" said Lovin Child, nodding his head and regarding Bud with the twinkle in his eyes. "And that's where you're dead right, Boy. I sure do wish you'd tell me your name; but I reckon that's too much to ask of a little geezer like you. Here.
In the porticoes, and on the steps of the temples, in the area of the Forum, in the colonnade that surrounded it, on the housetops and on the overlooking declivities, were stationed dense and eager crowds of impoverished heirs and their guardians, bankrupt tax-farmers and corn merchants, fathers bewailing their children carried off to the praetor's harem, children mourning for their parents dead in the praetor's dungeons, Greek nobles whose descent was traced to Cecrops or Eurysthenes, or to the great Ionian and Minyan houses, and Phoenicians, whose ancestors had been priests of the Tyrian Melcarth, or claimed kindred with the Zidonian Jah."
