Full Text

1 Are all the Foes of Sion Fools,
Who thus devour her Saints?
Do they not know her Saviour rules,
And pities her Complaints?

2 They shall be seiz'd with sad Surprize;
For GOD's revenging Arm
Scatters the Bones of them that rise,
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 O for a Word from Sion's King,
Her Captives to restore!
Jacob with all his Tribes shall sing,
And Judah weep no more.
