CCXXXII. CHRIST's Sheep given by the Father, and guarded by Omnipotence.

IN one harmonious chearful Song,
Ye happy Saints, combine;
Loud let it sound from ev'ry Tongue,
The Saviour is divine.

The least, the feeblest of the Sheep
To him the Father gave;
Kind is his Heart the Charge to keep,
And strong his Arm to save.

In Christ th' Almighty Father dwells,
And Christ and he are One;
That Rebel-Pow'r, which Christ assails,
Attacks th' eternal Throne.

That Hand, which Heav'n and Earth sustains,
And bars the Gates of Hell,
And rivets Satan down in Chains,
Shall guard his Chosen well.

Now let th' infernal Lion roar,
How vain his Threats appear!
When he can match Jehovah's Pow'r,
I will begin to fear.
