ENTHUSIASM OF CRUSADERS AT THE FIRST VIEW OF JERUSALEM

By the break of day, on the 10th of June, 1099, the Crusaders ascended the heights of Emmaus. All at once the holy city presented itself to their eyes. The first who perceived exclaimed together, "JERUSALEM ! JERUSALEM !" The rear ranks rushed forward to behold the city that was the object oa all their wishes, and the words, "IT IS THE WILL OF GOD ! IT IS THE WILL OF GOD !" were shouted by the whole army, and resounded over Mount Sion and the Mount of Olives, which offered themselves to the eager gaze of the Crusaders. At one moment they felicitated themselves with touching the last term of their labors ; and then wept over their sins, over the death of Christ, and over his profaned tomb ; but all renewed the oath they had so often made to deliver the holy city from the sacrilegious yoke of the Mussulmans. - Book IV
