Text:Victory and Deliverance from Persecution

53. Victory and Deliverance from Persecution

1 Are all the foes of Sion fools,
Who thus destroy her saints?
Do they not know her Saviour rules,
And pities her complaints?

2 They shall be siez'd with sad surprise;
For God's avenging arm
Shall crush the hand that dares arise,
To do his children harm.

3 In vain the sons of satan boast
Of armies in array;
When God has first despis'd their host,
They fall an easy prey.

4 Oh for a word from Sion's King,
Her captives to restore!
The joyful saints thy praise shall sing,
And Isr'el weep no more.
