Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.123 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Are all the foes of Zion fools Lyrics:
Are all the foes of Zion fools,
Who thus devour her saints?
Do they not know her Savior rules,
And pities her complaints?
They shall be seized with sad surprise;
For God's revenging arm
Scatters the bones of them that rise
To do his children harm.
In vain the sons of Satan boast
Of armies in array;
When God has first despised their host
They fall an easy prey.
O for a word from Zion's King,
Her captives to restore!
Jacob with all his tribes shall sing,
And Judah weep no more.
