CCLXV. The GOD of Peace bruising Satan.
From Hymns founded on various Texts in the Holy Scriptures (1755)
YE Armies of the living GOD,
In his all-conqu'ring Name,
Lift up your Banners, and aloud
Your Leader's Grace proclaim.
What tho' the Prince of Hell invade
With Show'rs of fiery Darts,
And join, to the fierce Lion's Roar,
The Serpent's wily Arts?
Jesus, who leads his Hosts to War,
Shall tread the Monster down,
And ev'ry faithful Soldier share
The Triumph and the Crown.
So Israel on the haughty Necks
Of Canaan's Tyrants trod,
And sung their Joshua's conqu'ring Sword,
And sung their faithful GOD .
